Map: As Net Neutrality Officially Ends, States Rush to Pass Workarounds

Governors in Montana, Vermont, New Jersey, New York and Hawaii, meanwhile, have used a different workaround. These governors issued executive orders that require ISPs to abide by net neutrality principles if they want to seek a contract with their respective states. This carrot-and-stick approach is also echoed in a number of the bills that states introduced since the FCC ruling in December.

Portions of the Federal Communications Commission’s net neutrality repeal order officially began to take effect Monday, as more than two dozen states aim to find workarounds to the FCC’s Restoring Internet Freedom Order.
