file suit. There is already an AG suit against FCC for the comment fraud.

Ultimately, of course, Congress ought to act.

Although I doubt the latter happens, this isn't over and there is still a long way to go in this fight.

It's a statutory process that allows Congress, on an expedited basis, to overturn agency actions. The good news is that CRA resolutions can't be filibustered and only need a simple majority to pass. The bad news is that they can be vetoed by the president and thus, as a practical matter, may need 2/3 majorities.

Both houses of Congress could nullify it, but it would also require a Presidential signature.

An authoritarian regime in place that wants to control what we know and what we can say.

If I didn't know better, it would look like everything is falling into place.

My concern is that this particular administration will selectively abuse the decision.


.

get ready for internet plans with free access to Breitbart, Fox News, etc but monthly charges for other news an information sites. This ruling is about expanding the same right wing brainwashing that brought you Rush to all the radiowaves buy monopolizing radio stations to the internet.

Congress and the Supreme Court.

They're bored. They've got nothing better to do. I guess that's the same reason why the imaginary net neutrality that never existed before was codified two years ago? Nothing better to do. No reason to worry, folks!

Nothing will change yet they had to vote to repeal.......

If it isn't regulated, it doesn't exist. Wow. Now, that seems counter-intuitive to me. I'd worry about taking that angle if I were arguing against regulation. But they don't always think big-picture.

...meaning the goal was to PREVENT ISPs from taking the Internet into their own hands and affecting the free and unencumbered exchange of information for profit. Those safeguards are now in jeopardy.

As with other prophylactic measures, you hope and assume they are working as they should, and only have hard evidence when they are not.

The United States Federal Communications Commission established four principles of "open internet" in 2005:

Consumers deserve access to the lawful Internet content of their choice.
Consumers should be allowed to run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement.
Consumers should be able to connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network.
Consumers deserve to choose their network providers, application and service providers, and content providers of choice.[4]

These tenets of open internet essentially encapsulate the ideas of net neutrality. From 2005 until the establishment of Open Internet in December 2010, these standards existed in name only. In 2009, FCC Commissioner Julius Genachowski revamped these principles by adding the idea that internet service providers may not discriminate against content in any way.[5] After an extensive debate about the viability of net neutrality, the FCC approved Open Internet on December 21, 2010.[6]

The FCC sought to enforce the policy statement against Comcast in 2007, but that action was challenged and struck down by the courts. That led to the FCC adopting, after a notice and comment rulemaking, a formal set of net neutrality rules in December 2010. Those rules didn't take effect for nearly a year and, in any event, were struck down by the courts in January 2014. The version of the rules that the FCC just repealed was adopted in February 2015 and took effect, I believe, in June of that year.

Uh hey genius....back then there was no broadband,it was all dial-up and hundreds of providers,if not thousands--that's called COMPETITION. Tell ya what Pai...you get 4-5 cable Internet and/or fiber optic Companies in MY city I could go maybe go with NN not being needed. What do I have for choice? Only ONE and that's COX which everyone hates because they're predators even with NN in place.
