The FCC is preparing to vote on restoring net neutrality protections abandoned by the Trump administration, with new rules released earlier this month. While the draft includes positive aspects like preventing mobile carriers from degrading video quality, it also opens the door for ISP-controlled fast lanes for certain applications. This controversial move would allow ISPs to pick and choose which apps receive priority, potentially limiting user choice, distorting competition, and favoring the most popular apps. Critics argue that allowing ISPs to create fast lanes violates core net neutrality principles and would have negative effects on startups, small businesses, and user experience. The FCC has the opportunity to address these concerns before the vote on April 25.
