Montana governor takes stand for state to honor 'net neutrality'
Steve Bullock
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Montana will sign contracts only with internet service providers that honor ânet neutralityâ firms   Governor Steve Bullock  said on Monday  the latest effort by a state to undermine a Federal Communications Commission order rolling back rules introduced in 2015.
 Bullock  signed an executive order requiring state contract recipients to adhere to so-called net neutrality  which barred internet service providers from blocking or throttling traffic or offering paid fast lanes  also known as paid prioritization.
A spokeswoman for the FCC declined to comment on the decision by  Bullock   a Democrat.
âThere has been a lot of talk around the country about how to respond to the recent decision by Federal Communications Commission to repeal net neutrality rules  which keep the internet free and open. Itâs time to actually do something about it â  Bullock  said in a statement. âThis is a simple step states can take to preserve and protect net neutrality. We canât wait for folks in Washington DC to come to their senses and reinstate these rules.â
