More on Net Neutrality

Battles Loom?

According to USA Today the Federal Communication Commission's decision to classify broadband as a utility has been met with opposition by internet service providers.

AT&T's senior executive vice president external and legislative affairs was quoted as saying,  "We once again face the uncertainty of litigation, and the very real potential of having to start over — again — in the future."   

Verizon also treated the ruling with derision.  They mocked the ruling as outdated and then sent out statements via social media "written with a typewritter in Morse code."(Roger Yu, Mike Snider, February 27, 2015)

USA Today also noted that a federal court threw out FCC's previous net neutrality rulings.

One can only wonder if court cases will be the next step or if Congress will enact legislation that will override any rulings by the FCC.
