Net Neutrality is a theory, where the Internet Service Providers are required to treat the data received on the Internet as same and not categorize or charge on the basis of content, application, mode of communication etc.
Recently, the Indian-American lawmakers condemned the Chairman of Federal Communications Commission also known as (FCC), Ajit Pai who repealed the Obama-era Net Neutrality Policy. Net Neutrality Policy of Obama-era mandates that the Internet Service Providers also known as (ISP’s) treat all the websites equally without discrimination. On the other hand, the proposal made by Pai was contrary to the Obama-era which and would open the gate for the Big Internet Providers to decide as to what websites should reach the subscribers faster than the others.
This led to a war between the proposal made by Pai and the first-term Indian-American Congressman where allegations were made against the proposal made by Pai. The accusations made were that the Internet Providers should not be permitted to block any of the websites of their competitors and prioritizing their offerings or hinder with the content. This would not only be unreasonable but also will put an embargo by diminishing the innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship of the economy. There were also accusations made on Pai and FCC stating that they are supporting “pay-to-play-politics”. There was also a contention pertaining to Net Neutrality Protections according to which dismantling the neutrality will lead to the violation or restriction of the First Amendment Fundamental Rights who rely on the opportunity provided on the open internet. By repealing the Obama-era of Net Neutrality, the ISP’s can charge excess in order to access anything on Internet where this will curb the innovators while the people who have excess money can only get to avail these services.
Nancy Pelosi, a Democratic Leader contended that the proposal made by FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is arbitrary and proves that he is an executor of an anti-consumer, anti-competitive agenda of the administration of Donald Trump. The Chairman of FCC, Ajit Pai had defended himself by saying that, by repealing the Obama-era of Net Neutrality it would benefit the consumers eventually because of the offers given by the ISP’s like AT&T and Comcast who offers a variety of service options.
