About the Book

In December 2017, the Federal Communications Commission adopted its landmark Restoring Internet Freedom Order repealing the public utility-like regulations which were applied to broadband Internet service providers by the Obama Administration’s FCC. The Restoring Internet Freedom Order ’s return to a light-touch broadband Internet policy fosters free market competition, promotes innovation and investment, and enhances consumer welfare. Importantly, the FCC’s decision also establishes a regulatory framework that ensures consumers are protected from anticompetitive conduct as well as from unfair and deceptive trade practices.

In the context of offering a defense of the FCC’s Restoring Internet Freedom Order , the book provides a wealth of information and key insights into the long-running debate surrounding “net neutrality” regulation. The selected writings in this Reader explore both legal and policy rationales that support the FCC’s December 2017 action, explaining why the FCC’s approach to regulation of broadband Internet services adopted in the Restoring Internet Freedom Order should be preserved.
