USTelecom starts legal challenge of FCC Open Internet rules
2015-04-14 08:46:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Industry association USTelecom filed a lawsuit against the FCC's Open Internet rules. Following publication of the net neutrality rules in the Federal Registry, opponents can appeal the regulations in court. USTelecom, which is challenging the rules in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, said the Open Internet regulation is "arbitrary and capricious, and violates federal law". While the industry supports net neutrality standards, it believes the FCC took the wrong approach in regulating the matter, by relying on Title II of the Telecommunications Act, USTelecom said in a statement. "Reclassifying broadband Internet access as a public utility reverses decades of established legal precedent at the FCC and upheld by the Supreme Court," USTelecom said. "History has shown that common carrier regulation slows innovation, chills investment, and leads to increased costs on consumers."
