Cupertino takes sides against the administration's proposal to downsize and abolish the Obama-era rules on net neutrality. “Paying for faster routes would replace the neutral transmission of internet traffic content, with differentiated treatment of the content based on the provider's ability or willingness to pay. It would create artificial barriers to entry for new online services, making it harder for tomorrow's innovations to attract investment and be successful, ”says Apple's Cynthia Hogan in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission, reported by Bloomberg. In February 2015, the Obama administration approved the principle of net neutrality, saying no to the two-speed web. Last May Ajit Pai, the president of the Federal Communications Commission appointed by Donald Trump, proposed a plan to dismantle the Obama-era rules. An initiative approved with 2 votes in favor and 1 against by the commission. “We propose to go back to the rules of the Clinton era for a lighter approach that has proved successful. The evidence gathered indicates that it is the right path to pursue, ”Pai said.
