Broadband providers file lawsuits against FCC to crush net neutrality rules | The FCC voted in April to reinstate net neutrality in the US


The plaintiffs took their lawsuits to several appellate courts, including the Fifth Circuit, the Sixth Circuit, Eleventh Circuit, and the D.C. Circuit, but only one of them...

USTelecom's lawsuit argues that the new rules are not only "arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion," but also violate a number of existing laws and regulations. According to the group's president, Walter McCormick, its members support an open internet but do not believe that the FCC has the authority to impose net neutrality regulations on the industry. In addition to the lawsuits, the lobby groups have also requested that the FCC halt the implementation of net neutrality by June 7, claiming that its members will suffer serious damage if the rules go into effect in their current form.
