FCC Markets Net Neutrality With 'Open Internet Challenge'

The Federal Communications Commission is marketing net neutrality with what it’s calling the Open Internet Challenge.

The challenge is designed to encourage the development of software tools that provide consumers with real-time data about their fixed or mobile broadband Internet connection.

Though the FCC passed a set of net neutrality rules in December, it will be up to the consumer to file complaints about Internet services that block or discriminate against certain lawful content. Thus, the “challenge” to provide consumers with the tools to police their own Internet services.
