The FCC says net neutrality would be a boon for national security. Some disagree.

Similarly, Brandon Pugh, policy director and a resident senior fellow at the free market think tank R Street Institute, doesn’t view net neutrality as a means of addressing gaps in cyber and national security. He said the FCC should instead focus on other security areas, such as the agency’s contributions to the Office of the National Cyber Director on harmonizing cybersecurity requirements or its separate Privacy and Data Protection Taskforce that is exploring device and supply chain security.
