New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed an executive order Jan. 24, directing state agencies to abstain from entering into any contracts with internet service providers that do not "agree to adhere to net neutrality principles."
No agencies may sign contracts for internet, data or telecommuni- cations services with ISPs that "block, throttle, or prioritize internet content or applications or require that end users pay different or higher rates to access specific types of content or applications."
