Rep. Jeff Fortenberry's staggering hypocrisy on net neutrality

12/13/2017

Originally Published in Washington Examiner on 12/13/17.

On Monday, Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., took to Twitter in support of so-called “net neutrality” rules set to be overturned by the FCC this week.

I recently urged Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai to preserve the framework of net neutrality. The upcoming decision should not allow for corporate monopolistic domination, whether internet service provider delivery or content creators. #NetNeutraility

While Fortenberry has clearly chosen lazy pandering over doing his homework regarding FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s proposed Restoring Internet Freedom Order, a quick look into Fortenberry’s record as a member of the City Council of Lincoln, Neb., reveals he bears direct responsibility for the threat of “monopolistic domination” in that city’s Internet Service Provider market.

BY Daniel Savickas

The FCC’s Restoring Internet Freedom Order is about to turn two years old. We were told at the time of its passage that it would mean the elimination of minority voices, that the Internet would load one word at a time, or even the outright death of the World Wide Web. If you’ve made it this far in this article, it would seem the Internet is doing just fine.
