FCC rejects industry request to stay Open Internet rules
2015-05-09 16:11:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The US Federal Communications Commission denied a request submitted by telecom industry groups and major operators to stay its Open Internet rules. The FCC said that the petitioners - USTelecom, AT&T, CenturyLink, CTIA-the Wireless Association and the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association - failed to meet the criteria for granting a stay. These require them to show they would likely prevail in a full challenge of the rules, would suffer irreparable harm without the interim relief, other parties would not be harmed from suspending the rules and the public interest would benefit from the stay. The FCC has consistently rejected the industry claim that it does not have the authority to impose such regulations, citing court jurisprudence and no action from Congress precluding its decisions. Nor did the FCC act "arbitrarily or capriciously", as the rules are based on an analysis of changing market conditions in recent years, including the widespread use of broadband internet and rise of third-party services over internet networks. The FCC also rejected industry threats that operators will be forced to abandon investments in IP services, calling this "vague", the potential harm "theoretical" and no basis for estimating any actual danger to the industry. Previous industry statements also suggest that consumers would suffer without the Open Internet rules, and the rules are "grounded in the public interest", the FCC said.

CenturyLink, AT&T join USTelecom in asking for stay on net neutrality order
2015-05-05 07:24:48| Telecom - Topix.net
AT&T and CenturyLink have joined USTelecom and the CTIA trade associations in firing the latest salvo at net neutrality orders by asking the FCC to stay its action of placing broadband Internet access services under Title II regulation. The service providers and industry associations said that request does not affect the regulator's rules that prevent ISPs from blocking or throttling a user's Internet connection when accessing legal content and that prevent content owners from paying for access to a faster service lane.
US operators ask FCC to stay net neutrality rules
2015-05-02 01:31:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) USTelecom, AT&T, CenturyLink, CTIA-the Wireless Association and the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association have asked the Federal Communications Commission to stay its action placing broadband internet access service under Title II public utility regulation. The operators and industry associations have already filed lawsuits in an attempt to halt the FCC's new net neutrality rules, which open up broadband service to the same regulation as telephony. They now want the Commission to review the plans to subject broadband providers to Title II common carrier obligations, as well as the newly created internet conduct standard that would allow the FCC to decide what new services carriers could offer. Their petition claims the new rules create "enormous uncertainty" about what kind of services broadband providers can offer, as well as result in new costs and "substantial harm" to operations, especially for small ISPs.
