Cable lobby vows “years of litigation” to avoid bans on blocking and throttling


FCC sets April 25 vote to restore net neutrality rules repealed under Ajit Pai.

In October 2023, the FCC voted 3–2 along party lines to seek public comment on restoring net neutrality rules and common-carrier regulation of Internet service providers under Title II of the Communications Act. "Reimposing heavy-handed regulation will not just hobble network investment and innovation, it will also seriously jeopardize our nation's collective efforts to build and sustain reliable broadband in rural and unserved communities," cable lobbyist Michael Powell said today. The cable group argues that restoring net neutrality rules will interfere with the Biden administration plan to expand broadband access with a$42.45 billion grant program that will distribute public money to ISPs.
