USTelecom files appeal against FCC net neutrality rules
2015-03-24 09:09:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Industry association USTelecom filed a review petition with the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia as a preliminary move to challenging the FCC's new net neutrality rules. The group said it's legal appeal will focus on the FCC's decision to reclassify broadband internet access as a public utility service, allowing stricter regulation of ISPs. The association said it otherwise supports the net neutrality rules, and the rules prohibiting ISPs from blocking or throttling specific internet traffic will not be the focus of its appeal. USTelecom said the FCC could have implemented these rules relying on other legislation, such as Section 706 of the Communications Act, rather than starting a stricter regulatory regime under Title II of the Telecommunications Act.
