帕伊說州政府以及地方政府「必須被禁止」通過各自的網路中立性條約，因為寬帶網路服
務「從一開始就是一個州際服務」。

這項說詞將有很大的可能性限制民主黨的執政州和地方政府去想出他們各自的計畫去保護
消費者對網路的平等通路。FCC所計畫的行動昭示了網路服務供應商的，包括AT&T，
Comcast，和Verizon，的勝利。他們非常積極的慫恿FCC廢除這些法規。

這些公司說廢除這項法案可以讓投資在寬帶上的資金增加數十億元，然後可以將未來的政
府管制網路價格的可能性降為零。

今年七月，一個代表大科技公司包括Google母公司Alphabet和Facebook的團體勸告帕伊放
棄廢止這項法律的計畫。

在十二月的會議中，FCC將會對帕伊提議要求網路供應商們聲明他們是否允許「網路快速
道」或者是「付費者優先」進行投票。



聯邦上訴法院去年確認了網路中立性法規的合法性，當時這些法規被一個由通信業貿易協
會所主導的官司所挑戰。

FCC廢除這項法規勢必會引發網路中立性的倡議者去採取法律行動。許多民主黨員和一些
網路公司認為若是沒有這些規範，網路供應商將會威脅網路的開放性。













The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday unveiled
plans to repeal a landmark 2015 order that barred internet service providers
from blocking or slowing down consumer access to web content, and said the
U.S. regulator will prevent states and cities from adopting similar
protections.

FCC chief Ajit Pai, a Republican appointed by President Donald Trump in
January, said the commission will vote at a Dec. 14 meeting on rescinding the
so-called net neutrality rules championed by Democratic former President
Barack Obama that treated internet service providers like public utilities.

With three Republican and two Democratic commissioners, the move is all but
certain to be approved. Trump, a Republican, expressed his opposition to net
neutrality in 2014 before the regulations were even implemented, calling it a
"power grab" by Obama.

"The FCC will no longer be in the business of micromanaging business models
and preemptively prohibiting services and applications and products that
could be pro-competitive," Pai said in an interview, adding that the Obama
administration had sought to pick winners and losers and exercised
"heavy-handed" regulation of the internet.

"We should simply set rules of the road that let companies of all kinds in
every sector compete and let consumers decide who wins and loses," Pai added.

The net neutrality rules, aimed at giving consumers equal access to web
content, also forbade broadband providers from charging consumers more for
certain content, a practice called "paid prioritization."

Pai said state and local governments "need to be preempted" from imposing
their own net neutrality rules because broadband internet service is
"inherently an interstate service."

The preemption is most likely to handcuff Democratic-governed states and
localities that could have considered their own plans to protect consumers'
equal access to internet content. The FCC's planned action represents a
victory for internet service providers, including AT&T Inc, Comcast Corp and
Verizon Communications Inc, which had urged the FCC to revoke the rules.

The companies have said that repealing the could lead to billions of dollars
in additional broadband investment and eliminate the possibility that a
future presidential administration could regulate internet pricing.

In July, a group representing major technology firms including Google parent
Alphabet Inc. and Facebook Inc had urged Pai to drop plans to rescind the
rules.

At the December meeting, the FCC will vote on Pai's proposal to require
internet service providers to disclose whether they allow blocking or slowing
down of consumer web access or permit so-called internet fast lanes to
facilitate paid prioritization.

Such disclosure will make it easier for another agency, the Federal Trade
Commission, to act against internet service providers that fail to disclose
such conduct to consumers, Pai said. The FCC under Obama regulated internet
service providers like public utilities under a section of federal law that
gave the agency sweeping oversight over the conduct of these companies.

A federal appeals court last year upheld the legality of the net neutrality
regulations, which were challenged in a lawsuit led by a telecommunications
industry trade association.

The FCC's repeal is certain to draw a legal challenge from advocates of net
neutrality. Many Democrats and some internet firms argue that without the
rules, internet providers will threaten the openness of the internet.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, a Democrat, wrote on Twitter,

"The internet is the public square of the 21st century. Unless we all speak
out against the @FCC's efforts to gut #netneutrality, the free and open
internet we know today could be gone for good."
The planned repeal represents the latest example of a legacy achievement of
Obama being erased since Trump, a businessman-turned-politician, took office
in January.

Trump has abandoned international trade deals, the landmark Paris climate
accord and environmental protections, taken aim at the Iran nuclear accord
and closer relations with Cuba, and sought to repeal Obama's signature
healthcare law.

The new order will reclassify internet providers as "information services"
rather than a "telecommunication service," which means the FCC has
significantly less authority to oversee the web. The FCC granted initial
approval to Pai's plan in May, but had left open many key questions including
whether to retain any legal requirements limiting internet providers conduct.
Pai, who has moved quickly to undo numerous regulatory actions since taking
over as chairman, is mounting a broad deregulatory agenda and has pledged to
take a "weed whacker" to unneeded regulations. Pai said he had not shared his
plans on the rollback with the White House in advance or been directed to
undo the order by White House officials.

Pai said the FCC is adopting a "market-based deregulatory approach." The FCC
also will vote to eliminate the "internet conduct standard," which gives the
FCC far-reaching discretion to prohibit any internet service provider
practice that it believes violates a long list of factors and sought to
address future discriminatory conduct.

Pai said his goal is to use a "light-touch market-based" regulatory approach,
arguing the internet operated well before the rules were adopted in 2015. The
internet "is the greatest free market innovation in history," Pai said,
adding that government regulations could hinder that.

不專業翻譯一定有錯對不起 但我想大概意思應該沒錯
有嚴重錯誤還是漏翻煩請指正

早上起來看Reddit發現首頁爆炸了，就是在吵這個
上個月八卦版就有人提過這件事了
基本上廢除這項法案可以讓你的網路供應商針對特定的網站收比較多錢
或者是減緩某些特定網站的速度
可以想像這對資訊的流動有多大的傷害
美國的一舉一動多少會對其他國家有影響 尤其是和網路有關的 根本無國界

#結果翻完了才發現台灣有媒體有報導...算了、翻都翻了 就看一下吧QAQ
