    What happened to the internet without net neutrality?

    What happened to the internet without net neutrality?
    The fiery debate over how the government should regulate the internet came to a head in 2017. That's when the Trump-led Federal Communications Commission repealed so-called net neutrality rules put in place during the Obama administration. The rules were meant to curtail practices like intentionally slowing down someone's internet speed. Now, under a new Democratic majority, the FCC is proposing reviving net neutrality. Today on the show, what happened in the years without it and what happens next.

    Mitch Landrieu, The Man Biden Hopes Can Rebuild America, Bring Broadband To Millions

    Mitch Landrieu, The Man Biden Hopes Can Rebuild America, Bring Broadband To Millions
    The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act is a $1.2 trillion law meant to spur a massive infrastructure renewal and rebuilding program complete with new bridges, railroads and highways.

    It also allocates $65 million to expand internet access to all.

    Mitch Landrieu, the former mayor of New Orleans, is the man Biden tapped to make sure the massive job gets done.

    In this episode from Consider This from NPR, Scott Detrow speaks with Landrieu about the Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides monthly $30 subsidies for lower-income individuals to buy Internet access, and with Kathryn de Wit, project director for the Pew Charitable Trust's Broadband Access Initiative, about why accessing the internet is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.

    Elon Musk ‘Embarrasses Putin’ (Again)

    Elon Musk ‘Embarrasses Putin’ (Again)

    Elon Musk has embarrassed Putin again! Elon’s Starlink app has become the most downloaded app in the Ukraine. Listen in to why Rob agrees with this headline and why he believes Elon musk is not only doing good for those in the Ukraine but in the business world too.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The Starlink app allows people to access the internet via satellite. Elon Musk made this technology available to the Ukraine after a plea from the Ukraine advice PM.
    • There are a lot of people out there who are negative about billionaires, but only a billionaire would be able to offer this kind of technological support for an entire country.
    • Actions speak louder than words and Elon proves this time and time again. Who would you rather give 10 billion of tax dollars to? Rob believes Elon would be able to make the money go further and work in more productive ways.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “Elon Musk isn’t just someone who tweets words, he tweets actions”

    “The app has been downloaded more than one-hundred thousand times”

    Why is There a Battle Over Net Neutrality?

    Why is There a Battle Over Net Neutrality?

    Net neutrality is the idea that the internet is a public good and that everyone should have equal, unfettered access to it. Though the FCC strongly supported it with new rules in 2015, today’s FCC is under new leadership and has other ideas.

    Net neutrality special edition

    Net neutrality special edition
    We’ve got a special edition episode of The Vergecast for you this week. On Thursday, the FCC put out a draft proposal for reversing the net neutrality order of 2015. The Verge has been following FCC chairman Ajit Pai’s actions in restoring “Internet Freedom” and how it will affect the internet for all of us. Nilay Patel invites news editor Jake Kastrenakes on the show, who has been reporting on this for the past few months, as well as senior reporter Adi Robertson, who reported on the FCC’s net neutrality rules back when this was a problem in 2014. The trio talk about the past, present, and future of the open internet and the FCC’s actions disrupting it.

    We've captured lightning in a bottle this week. We somehow managed to record The Vergecast in the brief moments between the Arizonan llamas and the white-gold-blue-black dress debate. It was a moment of clarity, a calm we didn't know we should have savored. Journey back with us to that simpler time, and hear Nilay Patel, Dieter Bohn, Chris Ziegler, and Sam Sheffer weigh in on the FCC's net neutrality ruling, the price of an Apple Watch, the upcoming Galaxy S 6, and the classic 1992 romantic thriller, The Bodyguard.
