This can be a severe jolt to the present US move on net neutrality, as Democrats have decided to vote in favour of it. In December, FCC voted along party lines to reverse rules introduced in 2015 that barred internet service providers from blocking or throttling traffic, or offering paid fast lanes. A group of state attorneys general immediately vowed to sue.
Democrats said they will force a vote later this year on the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's reversal of landmark Obama administration net neutrality rules and will try to make it a key issue in the 2018 congressional elections.
In the midst of the net neutrality war, a trade group representing major tech companies including Facebook Inc, Alphabet Inc and Amazon.com Inc said last week it will support legal challenges to the reversal.
According to Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, the issue will be a major motivating factor for young voters the party is courting. "We're going to let everyone know where we stand and they stand."
