US court throws out FCC net neutrality rules
2014-01-15 08:52:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) A US appeals court has overturned the FCC's so-called net neutrality rules. In a case brought by Verizon against the Open Internet rules, the Washington, DC Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Federal Communications Commission jurisdiction over broadband access, but said that it could not impose common carriage or non-discrimination requirements on internet providers. The net neutrality rules took effect in November 2011, prohibiting ISPs from restricting or slowing access to particular websites or services over their networks, while still allowing room for congestion management. Verizon said in a statement that the court ruling will have no impact on consumers' ability to access and use the internet and open the way for improved competition and innovation in the sector. The FCC said it was pleased that the court upheld the regulator's right to regulate the sector and suggested it will continue to use the principles of the Open Internet rules as the basis for other decisions. The regulator may also still appeal the court ruling to a higher court or the Supreme Court.
