FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has started the process to bring back net neutrality rules first implemented in 2015, but repealed in 2018. The rules classify broadband internet service as "essential", like water, power, and phone service. This give the FCC the authority to ensure that internet providers to not play favorites with the content and services carried over their networks. Providers would be barred from blocking legal content, and would have to provide the same speeds and access for all services and content. The Chairwoman started the process now that a Democrat-majority Commission has been confirmed by the Senate. The FCC has been without a full slate of five commissioners for two and a half years. The process will take some time as official new rules are proposed, then the FCC accepts feedback from the public and industry before adopting final rules.
