In the United States, net neutrality has been an issue of contention among network users and access providers since the 1990s. Until 2015, there were no clear legal restrictions against practices impeding net neutrality. In 2005 and 2006, corporations supporting both sides of the issue spent large amounts of money lobbying Congress. Between 2005 and 2012, five attempts to pass bills in Congress containing net neutrality provisions failed.

The FCC has passed a historic measure to more strictly regulate the Internet. The new rules, based on the principles of net neutrality, act to provide equal opportunity for Internet speeds and access to websites.
