Appeals Court Rejects ISP Stay of Neutrality Rules
An anonymous reader writes: The Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules will go into effect Friday after a court decided not to block them. The ruling is an early win for the FCC, whose assertion of enforcement authority over ISP's is being challenged in court by cable and wireless industry groups. Techdirt reports: "According to the court order (pdf), broadband providers failed to provide 'the stringent requirements for a stay pending court review,' meaning that the FCC's new net neutrality rules will remain in place for the duration of the ISPs assault on the FCC. While the courts have promised to expedite it, a resolution to the case could still take more than a year. FCC boss Tom Wheeler was quick to take to the FCC website to applaud the ruling."
A well written net neutrality law would have been better than the FCC bringing ISPs under their wing.
Yeah, that's one thing the US Congress excels at - enacting well written laws.
Crikey.
It's the shill in his natural habitat.
This particular specimen is drawn to net neutrality threats like an ignorant moth to a flame.
Note how he repeats the same myths even though he's been corrected several dozen times before.
Biologists are yet unsure whether this means his species is completely unable or willing to learn, or just that dedicated to his job.
The guy who said the election was rigged won the presidency with the second-most votes.
