Smaller cable companies hint they’ll sue the FCC on net neutrality, too

Matthew Polka, President and Chief Executive of the American Cable Association, said his group is considering litigation to overturn the Federal Communications Commission's proposed network neutrality rules, which aim to stop Internet providers from blocking or slowing Web traffic. "We believe the FCC must do the proper regulatory flexibility analysis to determine the impact of its regulations on small businesses," said Polka. "We believe the FCC has not done this to date." The association hasn't arrived at a final decision. But smaller Internet providers may be disproportionately affected by the strong rules currently being debated at the FCC, some industry advocates argue.
