Federal Court Kills Net Neutrality, Says FCC Lacks Authority.
An anonymous reader writes "According to a report from Gizmodo, a U.S. Appeals Court has invalidated the FCC's Net Neutrality rules. From the decision: 'Given that the Commission has chosen to classify broadband providers in a manner that exempts them from treatment as common carriers, the Communications Act expressly prohibits the Commission from nonetheless regulating them as such. Because the Commission has failed to establish that the anti-discrimination and anti-blocking rules do not impose per se common carrier obligations, we vacate those portions of the Open Internet Order.' Could this be the final nail in the coffin for Net Neutrality? Or will the FCC fight back? This submitter really, really hopes they fight back..."
Sigh... if only 'lefties' hadn't been blocked from appointing justices for so long... *facepalm*
See, it makes your point diluted that we have to determine you're being sarcastic from information we don't actually possess(the story of your own town and providers). It isn't until the end of your rant that we get the first obviously contrary information, and it hurts the pacing of your comment. I'm the last person in the world who should be providing writing advice, but it really hurt your joke this time.
