Net Neutrality. Recent changes by the Federal Communications Commission in their rules related to the issue of Net Neutrality have increased state’s interest in promulgating their own law, rule and policies on this topic. This solicitation will have no requirements related to Net Neutrality for the Master Agreements. It is anticipated, that this issue will be pertinent in the Participating Addendum process. Potential participating entities will be made aware of this consideration by the Lead State in a reasonable fashion.

Buyer will continue the current Telecom System’s support for net neutrality, will treat all Internet traffic equally, and will maintain transparency with respect to its policies and practices, including, without limitation, refusing to block, throttle, slow down, or unreasonably interfere with or unreasonably disadvantage any lawful content, applications, services, or use of non-harmful devices by End Users, content providers or Edge Providers. Buyer will not engage in Paid Prioritization. Xxxxx will publicly disclose accurate information regarding its network management practices and the commercial terms of its Broadband Internet Access Services sufficient for consumers to make informed choices regarding use of such services and for content, application, service, and device providers to develop, market, and maintain Internet offerings.

Net Neutrality. In accordance with the requirements of Executive Order No. 175, Contractor will be expected to adhere to net neutrality principles in the provision of broadband internet access services under this Contract, regardless of delivery method unless the Commissioner, or her designee, determines that adherence to net neutrality principles for a particular purpose is not in the best interests of the State. Nothing in this provision supersedes any obligation or authorization a provider of broadband Internet access service may have to address the needs of emergency communications or law enforcement, public safety, or national security authorities, consistent with or as permitted by applicable law, or limits the provider's ability to do so. As used herein, "net neutrality" means that Contractor will not block, throttle, or prioritize internet content or applications or require that end users pay different or higher rates to access specific types of content or application. For the purposes of this Contract, the prohibition against blocking, throttling, or prioritization (other than paid prioritization) of internet content or applications does not apply to reasonable network management practices.
Net Neutrality. An essential pillar of a free and open Internet is net neutrality. It allows and empowers users to choose and access any services, content and applications available on the web.188 The concept of net neutrality is a broad one, often encompassing freedom of expression, user choice and competition or non- discrimination in traffic management.189 With respect to e-commerce regulation, net neutrality principles can guarantee non-discriminatory access to the content and services consumers wish to use and an equal footing on competition for e-commerce service providers. Nowadays, the demand for internet access is growing exponentially, and some internet service providers limit bandwidth and control traffic (‘traffic shaping’) to ensure a smooth service. There are growing concerns that these traffic management mechanisms may be used to give preferential treatment only to some websites and data streams, to the harm of users.190 184 TPP art 14.7. 185 Ibid art 14.8. 186 Ibid art 14.18(1)–(2). 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, US Trade Commission: TPP E-Commerce Rules “Template” for Future Global Agreements (25 May 2016) American Enterprise Institute (‘AEI’), <xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/publication/us-trade-commission-tpp-e-commerce-rules-template-for- future-global-agreements/>. 188 Internet Society, Network Neutrality (Policy Brief, 30 October 2015) <xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/policybriefs/networkneutrality/>, archived at <xxxxx://xxxxx.xx/973Q-7A5A>. 189 Xxxxx Xxxxx and Tamir Israel, The Highlights of the Trans-Pacific Partnership E-Commerce Chapter (5 November 2015) Public Citizen, 6 <xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/sites/default/files/tpp-ecommerce-chapter-analysis.pdf>, archived at <xxxxx://xxxxx.xx/T6R3-ZCKX>. 190 Ibid 7. 2017] A Requiem for the TPP 39
