Is This the End of the Road for Net Neutrality? Not if Industry Can Help It

Industry players are suggesting there’s another decade of legal challenges ahead on the Federal Communications Commission’s 2015 network neutrality rules after a federal court upheld the controversial regulations. Internet service providers and tech lobbying groups are calling for various forms of legal action to fight the open Internet regulations. Some are calling for the full US District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to rehear the case, while others are already looking ahead to a Supreme Court showdown. “We have always expected this issue to be decided by the Supreme Court, and we look forward to participating in that appeal,” said AT&T Inc. Senior Executive Vice President David McAtee.
