[WashingtonPost] Verizon sues FCC to overturn net-neutrality rules

Posted on


Just weeks after the Federal Communications Commission adopted its first-ever rules aimed at regulating Internet access, Verizon Communications on Thursday filed a federal lawsuit to overturn the controversial order.

[…] the agency thinks it has the authority to carry out its net-neutrality rules. The rules are largely focused on the Internet lines into American homes that connect to desktop computers and private Wi-Fi networks. The rules prevent Internet service providers such as Verizon, AT&T and Comcast from intentionally blocking or favoring some Web sites over others.
