Press Release

Winter Springs, Fla., (January 22,2025) - Tech Rage IT's Chief Experience Officer, Matt Rose, recently appeared on Fox 35 Orlando to discuss the implications of the latest decision on net neutrality, a topic that continues to shape the landscape of internet access and digital business operations.

During the segment, Rose delved into the potential impacts of the net neutrality decision on consumers and businesses alike, highlighting both opportunities and challenges:

• Access and Fairness: Rose explained how net neutrality affects the principle of equal access to internet services, ensuring that all data on the internet is treated equally and not discriminated against by internet service providers (ISPs).
• Impacts on Small Businesses: He emphasized the importance of net neutrality in maintaining a level playing field for small and medium-sized businesses, which could otherwise face disadvantages if larger companies were able to pay for prioritized internet traffic.
• Innovation and Competition: Rose discussed how net neutrality can foster an environment that encourages innovation and competition, allowing new entrants and startups to compete with established players without facing barriers to entry due to throttled or restricted internet speeds.

"Net neutrality is more than just a regulatory concern; it's about preserving the integrity and accessibility of the internet as a resource for innovation and competition," said Rose. "The latest decision has significant ramifications for both consumers and businesses, and it's crucial to stay informed and proactive."

Tech Rage IT remains committed to supporting businesses in navigating the complexities of digital operations, including understanding regulatory changes and their potential impacts on business strategies.
