The court’s decision upheld the F.C.C. on the historic declaration of broadband as a utility, the most significant aspect of the rules. That has broad-reaching implications for web and telecommunications companies and signals a shift in the government’s view of broadband as a service that should be equally accessible to all Americans, rather than a luxury that does not need close government supervision.
“After a decade of debate and legal battles, today’s ruling affirms the commission’s ability to enforce the strongest possible internet protections — both on fixed and mobile networks — that will ensure the internet remains open, now and in the future,” said Tom Wheeler, chairman of the F.C.C., in a statement.
Excellent!!!! I love how they thought they had Wheeler in their back pockets...What a ride this has been!
How long until they try to defeat it again?
AT&T already announced they knew it would end up going to the Supreme Court and they are looking forward to the appeal.
I'd say next year,tops.
