Vermont Gov. Phil Scott is the latest state governor to take a stand against the FCC’s rollback of net neutrality rules. Ryan Johnston reporting in StateScoop: “Scott last week took executive action mandating that any internet service provider (ISP) holding or seeking a state contract must include net neutrality protections in its services for all subscribers. He becomes the fifth governor to use the tactic, which is intended to pressure ISPs to operate as if the FCC did not repeal the Obama-era rules.”
