FCC Chairman Jessica Rosenworcel will unveil plans later on Tuesday to reinstate net neutrality rules, the set of regulations that require broadband provides treat internet traffic equally.
The rules would prohibit internet providers like Comcast and AT&T from blocking and throttling traffic, or from offering internet sites speedier access to consumers if they pay extra fees.
The proposal likely will be met with staunch opposition from major internet providers, who have long argued that such regulations are not needed. The FCC has had several previous iterations of the net neutrality rules, with a robust set of regulations repealed by the Donald Trump-era commission in 2017, when Republican controlled the commission.
Rosenworcel is announcing the proposal one day after a third Democrat, Anna Gomez, was sworn in on the commission, giving the party a majority for the first time since President Joe Biden took office. The 2-2 deadlock at the FCC has prevented Rosenworcel from taking up more controversial issues like net neutrality.
An initial vote on the proposal is being scheduled for the FCC’s Oct. 19 commission meeting, after which there will be a public comment period before a final decision. The timeline is subject to change given the possibility of a government shutdown.
A senior FCC official indicated that the proposal will mirror a set of rules passed in 2015. That includes its most contentious element, the reclassification of internet service as a Title II service, like that of a common carrier. That regulatory manuever is designed to give the agency a stronger legal authority to establish robust rules. The FCC would still be prohibited from rate regulation and network unbundling requirements.
More to come.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor If your favorite broadcast network goes dark on a cable or satellite TV provider because of a business dispute, you should get some money back, FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel says. Rosenworcel on Wednesday announced two proposals she said would “further the FCC’s strategic goal to empower consumers in the media marketplace.” One proposal seeks comment on whether and how to require cable and satellite TV providers to issue rebates to subscribers in the event of a blackout “due to a failure to reach a retransmission consent agreement with broadcast station(s)/group owners.” The other solicits input on a rule that would force pay-TV operators to notify the FCC via an online public portal if there’s a broadcast-programming blackout 24 hours or more.

Posting the photo to Instagram, the former Strictly Come Dancing pro sweetly penned the caption: "Cuddles in bed last night." And while the snap was certainly adorable, it did cause something of a debate in the comment section, with one fan writing: "So cute!! She’s starting to look like you Janette!" As another commented: "Gorgeous- Lyra looking like Daddy her." "Lyra is getting to look like her daddy she's got the cutest button nose my oldest had the same button nose as a baby sending loads of love to u all xxxx" added a third.
