Local internet service providers now reacting after the Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal Obama-era net neutrality rules this week. What does that mean for consumers? Billy Williams is the President and co-founder of Computer Techniques, Inc., a local communications provider in Taylorville. He says although this could be a big win for internet providers, he doesn’t think companies will want the public relations issues that could come with providing non-neutral internet access.
The repeal allows internet providers to block or slow down web content and offer paid prioritization for websites through the provider.
