On today's Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the fight for net neutrality. A federal appeals court recently overturned the FCC’s "Open Internet Order,” which is a set of rules that prohibits internet providers from giving preference to applications or specific content.

Join the conversation on the next Your Call with Holly Kernan and You.
