NEW CALIFORNIA BILL RESTORES STRONG NET NEUTRALITY PROTECTIONS

LAST MONTH, A California Assembly committee voted to remove key protections from a state-level net neutrality bill. Critics said the changes opened loopholes that would allow broadband providers to throttle some applications, or charge websites or services for "fast lane" access on their networks. Now those key protections are coming back.
At a press conference Thursday, California state senator Scott Wiener, who introduced the original bill, and Assemblymember Miguel Santiago, who proposed the changes last month, said they had agreed on a new version that would give California the most robust net neutrality protections in the nation.
