Immediately
after the net neutrality launched, US broadband providers have filed legal
challenges regarding the new net neutrality rules. According to Digital Marketing Agency, this legal action, bring by the broadband
industry trade group USTelecom and Texas-based provider Alamo Broadband Inc, is
treated as the first series of legal challenged.
FCC
agreed some point of the net neutrality enshrined in U.S law, such as the
principle that internet access cannot be blocked or slowed in favour of
services that pay for so-called fast lanes; however, USTelecom said, “the rules
which internet service providers would be defined as public utilities and more
heavily regulated, were "arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of
discretion" and violated various US laws, regulations and rulemaking
procedures.”
Additionally,
Walter McCormick, industry body's president, said, “our members encourage the
enactment of open internet principle into law, yet we reject the using of new regulatory regime chosen by the FCC.”
