Advocates Ready Legal Showdown With FCC On Net Neutrality
- 7 years ago
Net neutrality advocates said they are gearing up for a legal fight after abandoning attempts to convince the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to keep 2015 rules aimed at maintaining an open internet. The FCC is expected to vote on Dec. 14 to scrap the landmark so-called net neutrality rules championed by Democratic former President Barack Obama, given FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and two Republican commissioners support the repeal. Advocates for the rules doubt the U.S. Congress will help prevent a repeal, leaving litigation as a last resort.
