Newark Fiber, which is building a fiber network for the city via a public-private partnership, will promise to adhere to the FCC’s now-shelved net neutrality guidelines. Axios reported that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka will make the announcement later today.
Specifically, the publication reported that Newark Fiber will “continue to prohibit blocking, throttling and fast lanes on its network even after the FCC rules go away. The city’s contracts with third parties that connect its network will also include net neutrality clauses.”
