"Trust Us, Nothing Will Change," say businesses who spent millions to overturn net neutrality [telecom]

By Steve Ahlquist

Lobbyists for Internet Service Providers descended upon the Rhode Island House Committee on Corporations Tuesday evening to make the case that they fully support net neutrality and promise to abide by a policy supporting an open Internet, but also that they want no state level laws passed that might hold them to such a promise. At issue are two pieces of legislation, H7076 from Representative Brian Patrick Kennedy (Democrat, District 38, Westerly, Hopkinton) and H7422 from Representative Aaron Regunberg (Democrat, District 4, Providence). Kennedy's bill "would require Internet service providers to follow Internet service neutrality" while Regunberg's bill prevents the state from doing business with ISP's that do not adhere to strict net neutrality provisions.
