Ars: If elected president, Jeb Bush will get rid of net neutrality rules

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush today pledged to "repeal or reform the most onerous Obama rules and regulations," and net neutrality would be one of the first things on his chopping block.

Bush wants to make sure that Internet service providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T are allowed to charge online content providers for access to their networks and Internet subscribers. "Rather than enhancing consumer welfare, these rules prohibit one group of companies (ISPs) from charging another group of companies (content companies) the full cost for using their services," Bush's proposal wrote.

Trade groups representing the biggest cable companies, telcos, and wireless carriers have sued the FCC to block the rules. This week, 27 Democratic and independent legislators filed an amicus brief supporting the FCC, while major tech companies and consumer advocacy groups supported the FCC, too.
