Swinging through his office yesterday,  Wiener said that in response to the repeal and replacement of the FCC's net neutrality rules, California will be able to "protect the digital freedoms of our citizens."

"We won't be forced to fight over the rights of ISPs and our customers, instead we will have the ability to fight to protect the rights of our communities," he said.

The repeal bill also establishes a new regulatory framework for US broadband providers that would ban interconnection between US carriers and US broadband providers.

"This will put the interests of US broadband providers ahead of the interests of Californians, and it will protect the rights of ISPs to provide the best service for their customers," Wiener said.

State Senator Mark Leno (D-Santa Clara) said that despite the opposition of the state's broadband providers, the FCC proposal won't cause any disruption in California. "This is a victory for broadband providers and a victory for their constituents, and we look forward to working to ensure that the bill passes," he said.

The repeal of the new net neutrality rules is a major victory for the industry, which is already struggling when faced with the FCC's regulations, due to the large number of complaints it has received. "The US market is already under sustained scrutiny, and the FCC's net neutrality rules are a major victory for consumers," said Mark Clements, a partner at Cox Communications .

The repeal and replacement of the FCC's net neutrality rules was one of the most prominent victories of the Trump administration.

The internet is a huge success for the industry, which has been fighting to protect its business model, and it will be an even bigger success for the US government as it begins to use the internet in its foreign policy goals like stopping terrorist attacks and defeating ISIS. As internet access speeds have improved, so too has the cost of providing internet connectivity to the US.

The new rules come as major internet companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon have all expressed interest in revamping their services and the US government is preparing to impose additional regulations on the internet companies.
