With Anna Gomez confirmed to the FCC effective yesterday, the Democratic commissioners now have a majority and can push through policies like this. Of course, it could be overturned by future Commissioners too.

We really can’t rely on things like net neutrality to flip flop every new administration (assuming the high likelihood of each new administration appointing their own commissioner).
We would need legislation to solidify net neutrality.

While it would be much better if net neutrality was legislated, this flip-flop isn’t a complete loss.
- Even if this change is only temporary, it still improves things for that time.
- Businesses don’t like having to change back and forth based on Federal policy. Even if congress can’t pass net neutrality, many businesses will give up if they have to adjust every 4-8 years.
