Abstract
In 2015, the FCC issued its most sweeping order protecting net neutrality. Fast
forward to today’s environment in which the FCC rolled back most net neutrality protections
for consumers and producers of content on the Internet. The essence of such deregulation
is that Internet service providers can discriminate among Internet users, allowing
prioritization (for a price) in the transmission of their data. In this paper, we address
different “discrimination” policies (regulatory regimes) to determine how they could affect
nonprofits. We expect this research to inform nonprofits, policymakers, and consumers
about technology and media policy for nonprofit organizations in the future.
