Keeping Washington state net-neutral
A free and open internet is important to all Americans, but it is critical to Washington state, where
e-commerce
and technology are major components of the
economy
. Amazon and Microsoft are headquartered in Washington, and Google, Facebook, and Intel are major employers in the state. With so much of the state’s economy dependent on the internet, it’s no surprise that Washington officials are not quietly accepting the repeal of
net neutrality
rules by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The day the FCC voted to eliminate open internet regulations, Washington’s attorney general, Bob Ferguson, announced he’ll file a
lawsuit
against the FCC – but state legislators aren’t waiting for a day in court to protect net neutrality.
