The repeal of net neutrality radically changed the FCC's position on regulation of cable authorities in America. In particular, the FCC no longer regulates broadband under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934, and actively attempts to strangle alternative methods of regulation. This has had ramifications for cities regulating their cable franchisees. For example, in 2015, my city was able to use the threat of increasing cable TV access fees in order to accelerate their timeline for offering gigabit speeds in my area. This is no longer possible in today's regulatory structure: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/08/pais-fcc-orders-cities-and-towns-to-stop-regulating-cable-broadband/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/08/pais-fcc-orders-...
