Her research has influenced net neutrality debates in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia, and Europe, and has been cited by academics, stakeholders, regulatory agencies, and other public entities worldwide. Her book Internet Architecture and Innovation (MIT Press 2010, Paperback 2012) is considered to be the seminal work on the science, economics and policy of network neutrality. Van SchewickвЂ™s research on the economic, regulatory, and strategic implications of communication networks bridges law, networking and economics.

It is time for us to restore internet freedom.Barbara van Schewick is the M. 'If our rules deter a massive infrastructure investment that we need, eventually we will pay the price in terms of less innovation.

'The internet is the greatest free-market innovation in history,' Pai said. Not good for consumers, not good for business, not good for anyone who connects and creates online.'ДЇCC chairman Ajit Pai broke the tie, voting in favor of moving back ISPs under Title I classification. Rosenworcel said ISPs will get the power to block websites, throttle content and encourage pay-for-play arrangements with partners while limiting others to 'a slow and bumpy road.' 'Know this: They have the technical ability and business incentive to discriminate and manipulate your internet traffic, and now this agency gives them the legal green light to go ahead and do so. I believe it is essential that we sustain this foundation of openness, and that is why I support net neutrality.' The future of the internet is the future of everything.

'This decision put this Federal Communications Commission on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the American public. 'I dissent from the corrupt process that has brought us to this point, and I dissent from the contempt this agency has shown our citizens in pursuing this path today,' FCC commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel said. 'The agency does not have the final word. 'What saddens me the most today is that the agency that is supposed to protect you is actually abandoning you, but what I am pleased to be able to say today is that the fight to save net neutrality does not end today,' Clyburn said. O'Rielly and Carr voted to rescind the Open Internet Order, while commissioners Mignon Clyburn and Jessica Rosenworcel made strongly worded arguments against rescinding it. The FCC commissioners were widely split on the decision. Removing the regulations may also allow ISPs to stifle services that compete with their own, including over-the-top streaming platforms such as Netflix. For example, because streaming video takes up more bandwidth than reading text-based sites, companies could charge more. Net neutrality proponents, including many large internet companies, argue that allowing ISPs to prioritize internet traffic differently may drive ISPs to charge more for various activities.
