American Cable Association Seeks to Ally With FCC in Net Neutrality Fight

The American Cable Association has officially joined the court challenge of the Federal Communications Commission's network neutrality rule rollback, filing a motion to intervene in the case with the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.  ACA is intervening on the side of the FCC, to "help defend the Federal Communications Commission's ruling that restored light-touch regulation to providers of high-quality broadband facilities and infrastructure to millions of users in rural America." An intervenor is a party with a demonstrable interest in the outcome, something ACA certainly has, representing hundreds of ISPs directly impacted by the FCC’s decision to move them out from under common carrier regulations. ACA told the court it has contacted both sides and neither objects to its intervenor status.
