Broad Band Access Tied to Net Neutrality

What is happening? The Net Neutrality and Broadband Justice Act defines  broadband internet access as a telecommunications service granting authority to the Federal Communications Commission to reinstate net neutrality protections. 

Why is this important?  FCC could then prohibit discriminatory practices like blocking, throttling and paid prioritization online.

How will this be important? The public policy goals are to enhance public safety, increase accessibility, close the digital divide, and protect consumers.
