Companies and governments, including SpaceX, Eutelsat OneWeb, and Amazon Kuiper, are launching or planning to launch thousands of satellites to provide internet services anywhere on Earth. However, concerns are growing over the carbon footprints of these satellite networks, which may be dozens of times larger than land-based alternatives. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is taking steps to reinstate net neutrality rules, providing a clear avenue for the FCC to enact rules that will stand up to a challenge in court. The FCC's efforts to restore net neutrality have received support from Democrats and are being closely watched by the industry. The vote to begin the reinstatement of net neutrality has been welcomed by proponents of an open and equal internet.

We’re glad that the FCC is finally taking steps to bring back net neutrality. Title II provides a clear avenue for the FCC to exercise authority to enact net neutrality rules that will stand up to a challenge in court. https://t.co/BOGhNBqUXf
