REALTORS® Applaud New Net Neutrality Rules

REALTORS® welcome the passage of new rules by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to protect true net neutrality, which are essential to the modern business of real estate that is increasingly conducted online. REALTORS® are pleased that the FCC will implement net neutral practices and prohibit paid prioritization, which would have created a two-tiered Internet and put REALTORS® and other small business owners at a competitive disadvantage. The new rules are a victory for consumers, and for REALTORS® who embrace technology and online resources to meet the needs of their clients. The FCC's new rules will become effective within 60 days of their publication in the Federal Register.
