Net neutrality is coming back, no matter what happens next with the Senate resolution

Coverage Type: 

[Commentary]  The Republican Senate's passage May 16 of a measure that would reinstate the Federal Communications Commission's network neutrality rules is a strong indication that support for those regulations is gaining steam. Net neutrality started as an obscure policy debate, but it has become a mainstream issue, and the more people know about it, the more they support it, regardless of their political identification. That support means that even if the Senate's resolution ultimately dies in the House of Representatives or on President Donald Trump's desk, the net-neutrality rules will be reinstated, one way or another. Support for the open-internet rules has only grown over time, both among the public and in the Beltway. And the more people know about the rules and what purpose they serve, the more they like and back them, no matter which side of the political aisle they're on.
