Net Neutrality Rules Published: Let The Lawsuits Begin

The FCC’s Net neutrality rules, 400 pages long, were filed in the Federal Register on April 13. Under the new rules Internet service providers are not allowed to block content, slow down apps or services, or accept fees for favored treatment. All Internet traffic is to be treated equally, and broadband providers will function under the same regulations that govern telephone networks. USTelecom was the first to file for an injunction just minutes after the rules were published, calling them  “arbitrary, capricious and an abuse of discretion.”
