The Order includes 72 separate initiatives involving more than a dozen federal agencies. This update discusses three provisions of the Order likely to have significant effects on the telecom and related tech industry. First, the Order calls for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reinstate the Obama-era net neutrality rules repealed during the Trump administration. If reinstated, these rules would prohibit Broadband Internet Access Service (BIAS) providers from impairing internet service by throttling speeds or blocking access to online services or websites.
