Net Neutrality Rules Reach the Federal Register
Apr 13, 2015, 8:19 AM by Eric M. Zeman
The FCC's proposed rules regarding net neutrality were published in the Federal Register today and will become law in 60 days. The rules' appearance in the Federal Register means groups opposed to them may now file lawsuits to prevent the rules from taking final form. A number of organizations have indicated they plan to sue, and some have already put lawsuits into motion. The rules reclassify broadband services under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934, which will treat them like common carriers. Many telecom companies are strongly opposed to what they call overbearing regulation from the FCC. The FCC is confident the rules, as drafted, will withstand legal assaults.
