Net Neutrality Attacked in Court

The first lawsuits have been filed to challenge the Federal Communications Commission's new rules prohibiting internet service providers from treating Internet traffic unequally, The New York Times' Rebecca R. Ruiz reports. The United States Telecom Association, as well as a small broadband provider in Texas, have filed the lawsuits against the rules that reclassify broadband Internet providers as common carriers and would prohibit ISPs from blocking, slowing down or speeding up users' access to content. The rules were just released 11 days ago.
