Many net neutrality advocates want the government to reclassify the Internet as a public utility to prevent Internet companies from blocking and prioritizing certain content. While there is widespread, bipartisan support for principles of “Internet openness,” Title II would not even allow the FCC to ban all forms of paid prioritization.
