This is the best summary I could come up with:

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced plans to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules meant to guarantee fair access to the internet and its information, five years after they were repealed by then-president Donald Trump in 2018.

According to FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, the commission is expected to conduct an initial vote on reinstating these rules next month during an October 19th meeting.

“Net neutrality is one of the most widely discussed issues in telecommunications policy,” Rosenworcel said in a speech announcing the decision at the National Press Club today, although she said the debate often generated “more heat than light.” Rosenworcel condemned the Trump-era FCC’s decision to reverse the 2015 rules, particularly in light of access challenges highlighted by the pandemic.

Biden signed an executive order in July 2021 that contained several provisions relating to net neutrality, encouraging the FCC to reinstate Barack Obama-era rules in those areas.

There will be subsequent votes, comments, and notices that follow, and the process could be held up by lawsuits if any of the impacted broadband providers want to challenge the decision.

Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast have previously argued against net neutrality rules and claim that they don’t (and won’t) partake in the kinds of business practices that the legislation is designed to prevent.
