(Telecompaper) The American Cable Association has joined with ISP petitioners and other trade associations in filing a reply brief calling on the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to overturn the FCC's decision to reclassify broadband internet access as a highly regulated telecom service. In the brief, the ACA argues that the FCC acted contrary to law and decades of precedent by relying on Title II of the Communications Act as the legal basis for its new regulations. The joint reply brief was filed with associations including the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, USTelecom, CTIA The Wireless Association, the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA) and individual ISPs such as AT&T and CenturyLink.
