While many companies have filed lawsuits in an attempt to appeal the FCC’s recent net neutrality decision, it is still crucial for businesses large and small to understand how the new regulations may affect them in the likely event that the decision is not reversed. Although exactly how businesses are affected may depend on the business’s size, revenue, Internet provider, and a variety of other factors, here are a few noteworthy takeaways from the FCC law:
Certain ISPs are no longer prohibited by FCC rule from blocking certain websites in favor of others, which may affect the access to these websites that businesses need in their day-to-day operations.
In addition, ISPs are no longer prohibited by FCC rule from slow ing down certain business’s websites and charging more to be able to maintain their web presence, which is crucial for expansion and reaching new customers.
Small businesses in particular may face financial challenges while some larger businesses with more revenue may not be as affected by potential additional charges.
