Shortly after Donald Trump was elected president, then-Federal Communications Commission (FCC) member Ajit Pai took aim at dismantling net neutrality rules—setting in motion a battle that would run throughout the next three-and-a-half years.

With the 2020 election right around the corner, the debate could come roaring back. It’s also possible it could be decided forever.
However it shakes out, there will be implications for net neutrality. So what will the future of the net neutrality battle look like under a continuation of Trump’s administration or if former Vice President Joe Biden wins?
