Remember when Verizon “throttled” firefighters’ internet access while they were fighting the Mendocino Complex Fire?
Lawmakers do, and they’ve got a bill to keep it from happening again.
State Assemblyman Marc Levine, a Marin County Democrat, introduced a bill that breezed through two committees and is now closer to becoming a law.
The tech news site Ars Technica, which broke the throttling story last year, reports that the mobile industry’s main lobbying group opposes the bill.
