| Telcos sue California We demand that you prop up our monopoly and pay what we tell you Four lobby groups representing the broadband industry today sued California to stop the state's new net neutrality law which will prevent them creating a two tier internet and charging what they like. The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of California by mobile industry lobby CTIA, cable industry lobby NCTA, telco lobby USTelecom, and the American Cable Association. These four lobby groups represent all the biggest mobile and home internet providers in the US and hundreds of smaller ISPs. Comcast, Charter, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile US, Sprint, Cox, Frontier, and CenturyLink are among the groups' members. They are moaning that the move was a "a classic example of unconstitutional state regulation which was was purposefully intended to countermand and undermine federal law by imposing on [broadband] the very same regulations that the Federal Communications Commission expressly repealed in its 2018 Restoring Internet Freedom Order." https://fudzilla.com/news/47322-telco-s-sue-california |
