California may gut state net neutrality law to comply with Trump admin demand
摘要
加利福尼亚州可能接受18.6亿美元联邦宽带拨款，但特朗普政府要求接受拨款资金的互联网服务提供商不受网络中立规则约束。加州此前曾通过多年诉讼保住本州网络中立法，该法禁止ISP封锁或限速合法流量，也不得向网站收费以优先传输其流量。特朗普政府去年调整420亿美元BEAD宽带项目时规定，各州须承诺不对获资助ISP执行费率监管或网络中立规则。
California is on the verge of accepting $1.86 billion in federal broadband grant funds, despite the Trump administration telling states they cannot enforce net neutrality rules on any Internet service provider that gets a piece of the grant money.
When the Trump administration overhauled the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program last year, it ruled that states must agree not to enforce any rate regulation or net neutrality rule on ISPs that receive funding. This is particularly problematic for California, which previously won a yearslong court battle to defend its state net neutrality law.
Similar to federal net neutrality rules repealed during the first Trump administration, California's law prohibits ISPs from blocking or throttling lawful traffic and says ISPs may not require fees from websites or online services to deliver or prioritize their traffic to Internet users. While the first Trump administration lost its attempt to preempt state net neutrality laws, the second Trump administration is trying to achieve a similar result by making federal broadband money conditional on whether states agree not to enforce net neutrality.
