Summary:

"On August 29, 2017, the Association of Research Libraries filed reply comments in the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proceeding 'In the Matter of Restoring Internet Freedom.' The reply comments urge the FCC to maintain the current net neutrality policy and protect the work of ARL members, much of which depends on open, fast, broadband Internet access services. The comments highlight the unique role that research libraries play in the Internet ecosystem, review the record in the proceeding and suggest some practical solutions, and note the importance of strong network neutrality rules in protecting the First Amendment. ARL also filed reply comments jointly with higher education associations.

In addition to the examples highlighted in ARL's reply comments, below are other collections, data sets, learning resources, and collaborations that are made possible and available because of strong net neutrality protections."
