Supreme Court rejects ISPs again in latest bid to kill NY’s $15 broadband law | Supreme Court not swayed by AT&T pulling home Internet service out of New York.


Supreme Court not swayed by AT&T pulling home Internet service out of New York.

AT&T stopped offering its 5G home Internet service in New York entirely instead of complying with the law, and the industry hoped AT&T's exit would convince the Supreme Court to change its decision. Lobby groups filed a supplemental brief on January 17 urging the court to reconsider its denial of their petition, saying that AT&T's exit proves that "some providers will cease offering broadband service in New York rather than sell at a loss." Sohn called on ISPs to join with consumer advocates to support a federal law guaranteeing "limited but meaningful oversight over broadband... Until then, my colleagues and I will go to every state that will listen to ensure that Internet users are protected from anticompetitive and anticonsumer practices."
