Telecoms sue FCC over Net neutrality

(THE HILL) — Major telecommunications companies are jumping to challenge new federal Internet service regulations in court, mere hours after the legal window opened on Monday morning.


The U.S. Telecom Association — which represents companies including AT&T and Verizon — filed a legal challenge against the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) new net neutrality regulations, claiming they broke the law by classifying Internet service as a utility.


“Reclassifying broadband Internet access as a public utility reverses decades of established legal precedent at the FCC and upheld by the Supreme Court,” trade group head Walter McCormick said in a statement.
