The Fight For Net Neutrality Resumes with Netflix at the Helm

'In October, the FCC voted to initiate a process that would restore net neutrality rules after they were struck down in 2017 under former President Donald Trump’s administration. Netflix, which was vocal on the issue just a few years before, when it raised concerns about how Comcast was handling its internet traffic, mostly stayed away from that fight, with executive chairman Reed Hastings suggesting that the streamer is unconcerned since it’s “big enough to get the deals we want.”

'Since then, as consumers increasingly turned to watching over-the-top content — thus bypassing ISPs’ services, not only on the computer but also on TV — it’s become clear that such providers, like Netflix, now compete with ISPs.'
