Today, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo that would create net neutrality protections in New York. The bill would ban blocking, throttling, paid prioritization, and zero-rating. It would also create a private right of action for consumers to hold their internet providers accountable for violations.

OTI is a longstanding proponent of net neutrality and is currently the Federal Communications Commission to restore the net neutrality rules that the agency repealed in 2017. OTI also the Save the Internet Act (H.R. 1644), federal legislation that would restore net neutrality rules. That bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives in April and awaits action in the U.S. Senate.

The following quote can be attributed to Joshua Stager, senior counsel for �鶹������ý’s Open Technology Institute:

“From net neutrality to the T-Mobile/Sprint merger, the states are stepping up where the Trump Administration has failed to protect internet users. It’s been two years since the FCC repealed net neutrality, and we need those rules restored. We welcome Governor Cuomo’s effort to save net neutrality in New York.”
