FCC Net Neutrality Vote: Todd O’Boyle

The new regulations reclassify Internet service providers as public utilities carriers under Title II of the Telecommunications Act. That means no preferential treatment by broadband gatekeepers. We were to speak with former FCC commissioner Michael Copps this morning, but he was unable to join us. Instead, Todd O'Boyle, the Common Cause Program Director for the Media and Democracy Reform Initiative, joined the show via phone from Washington.
