Six years ago, the end of net neutrality in the US meant that carriers such as AT&T and Verizon were free to prioritize certain services at the expense of others.
Since becoming taking office in 2021, President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s administration has been trying to reverse that decision and restore net neutrality. Those efforts hit another snag this week when the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to block the government’s plans to reinstate rules that were in place before 2018.
As a result, there will be no change before the presidential election in November.
