IA Urges Congress to Enact Paid Prioritization Ban

The Internet Association “continues to support a ban on paid prioritization because it hurts consumers and lets ISPs pick winners and losers online,” a spokesman responded to a Tuesday House Communications Subcommittee hearing on the practice (see 1804170037). “Strong net neutrality protections that ban blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization ensure that people get what they pay for -- access to the entire internet. Paid prioritization incentivizes ISPs to reduce investment and maintain congested networks.”
