Hawai`i Sen. Brian Schatz said the move will hinder internet access needed to participate in democracy. Schatz explained, "The Internet works because the people who charge you for access to it cannot charge different amounts for different content, depending on their commercial interests. You pay the ISP, you get the whole Internet. What the FCC is doing is revoking that rule."
According to Schatz, "Without Net Neutrality, companies can block, throttle or charge you more to visit certain websites. The FCC is making a grave error this week."
Earlier this year, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said that "Maintaining free, open, and equal access to the Internet is a cornerstone of our democracy in today’s digital age. The Internet is constantly defining and redefining what is possible—from breaking down barriers in education, to expanding access to jobs and employment, to driving innovation in healthcare, and so much more."
She was responding to a federal court decision in June that, according to Gabbard, would "help ensure that access to the Internet continues to be a place of equal opportunity for all Americans, not reserved for those with the money to purchase special access rights.”
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling reclassified broadband as a telecommunications service under Title II of the Telecommunications Act, which allows the FCC to regulate internet service as a public utility. By regulating high-speed internet as a public utility, the FCC is able to prevent Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) from charging consumers to speed up certain online content over others, and require all online content be treated equally. The court upheld the FCC’s rules in a 2-1 vote.

KA‘Ū COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAME TOGETHER at Kauaha'ao Congregational Church's annual event in Wai‘ōhinu last Saturday. Minister Debbie Wong Yuen said, "We would like to send out a heart felt Mahalo Nui Loa to the people of Ka‘ū for their wonderful support and participation. The bazaar was not just for the Church, but an outreach for the community, allowing various individuals and groups to participate as vendors in the open space flea market."
Vendors came from Kona and Puna "to be a part of this beautiful, spirit filled day," she said. "Everyone that came was blessed with entertainment from Thy Word Ministry Praise Team, and Hannah's Makana 'Ohana Halau, the perfect weather, fellowship, and a variety of handmade crafts, baked goods, goodies, books and rummage that were being sold by 23 different vendors."
Many vendors have already committed to be a part of the Church's annual bazaar in November 2018. "Blessings and God's grace be with everyone throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas season," said Wong Yuen.
