FCC wants quick court decision on net neutrality

The Federal Communications Commission and those trying to kill its new network neutrality rules agree on at least one thing: The court should make quick work of the case. The FCC filed a brief urging the court not to put the agency's newly approved net neutrality rules on hold while the broader legal challenges are worked out. But the FCC agreed with another motion by Internet service providers -- like AT&T and CenturyLink -- to expedite the case, so it can be resolved as soon as possible. "Although petitioners have not met the standard for a stay, we believe that the public would be served by the Court’s expedited consideration of this case," The FCC said in a brief to the US Court of Appeals for DC. A group of companies and advocates supportive of the new Internet rules made similar arguments in their own legal filing.
