The Open Internet order, the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC's) new set of rules that aims to govern the internet in the US, will take effect on 20th of November this year.

Made last year by the FCC, and cleared recently by the White House's Office of Management & Budget, the new Internet rules will try to balance interests of consumer and content providers against Internet providers.

The rules in question prevent broadband companies from blocking legal content but all them to manage traffic on their networks.

However opponents, including broadband provider Verizon Communications, have already warned that they would go to the court against the new set of rules because the rules allow the government to intrude into the Internet.

Debate on how to regulate the Internet with regards to content, platforms and sites has been going on for the last several years in the country.

The new set of rules was created last year, after the U. S. federal appeals court ruled that the FCC does not own the right to stop Comcast from blocking bandwidth-hungry apps on its network.
