US regulator repeals Obama-era net neutrality rules
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Thursday voted 3-2 in favour to repeal Obama-era 'net neutrality' rules. The 2015 rules barred internet service providers from blocking, slowing access to or charging more for certain content to grant equal access to the internet. The commission said the rules were heavy-handed, and stifled competition and innovation among the service providers.
