Individual states are challenging the FCC/Feds on “Net Neutrality.” (VI backstory here).

“When Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) signed an executive order Monday, the state of Montana became the first to require internet service providers (ISPs) with state contracts follow net neutrality rules, according to The Hill.”

Other states are following suit, in the wake of the FCC/Verizon/Trump gutting of Net Neutrality protections a few weeks back.

Comedian Jimmy Dore breaks it down here.

“Under the order,” according to The Hill, “to receive a contract from the state of Montana for providing telecommunications services, the service provider is prohibited from blocking lawful content, throttling, impairing or degrading lawful internet traffic on the basis of internet content, engaging in paid prioritization, or unreasonably interfering or disadvantaging the users’ ability to select, access and use broadband internet access service.”
