Cities, States Keep the Net Neutrality Battle Alive

Challenging the FCC...

Montana Governor Steve Bullock joined the fight this week to keep the net neutrality battle alive.

States are starting to make good on their promises to fight net neutrality in the wake of the Federal Communications Commission's decision to jettison rules that banned broadband providers from blocking or discriminating against Internet content, Flint Findley reports on wired.com.

On Monday, Montana Governor Steve Bullock signed an executive order effectively banning state agencies from doing business with Internet service providers that violate net neutrality, Findley wrote.

New York Governor Andrew Como signed a similar order on Wednesday, he added.

The moves follow a suit filed by 21 states and the District of Columbia challenging the FCC's decision to overturn its own protections, Findley noted.
