USTelecom asks court to review FCC Internet Rules [telecom]

Mar 26, 2015 0 Replies

The U.S. broadband industry this week moved to overturn Internet rules that were adopted by the Federal Communications Commission.



The United States Telecom Association (USTelecom) argued that the FCC's Open Internet Order is "arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion," violates the U.S. Constitution and Communications Act of



1934, and runs afoul of notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements.

The petition for review was filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. That is the same court that overturned FCC Internet rules more than a year ago following a challenge by Verizon.
