[1st-mile-nm] Fed. Court Upholds FCC Net Neutrality Rules

[Richard Lowenberg]

Below is a link to a 3 page policy brief from Tom Koutsky of Connected 
Nation,

>> on the federal court upholding the FCC’s 2015 Open Internet Order in 
>> its entirety.  These are the “New Neutrality” rules that classified 
>> broadband Internet access service as a “common carrier” service.   
>> That regulatory classification is important, as it relates directly to 
>> whether the FCC can, for example, direct Lifeline universal service 
>> subsidies to broadband, consider rules on the privacy of consumer 
>> information ISPs might collect, ensure device compatibility, and 
>> regulate the interconnection of broadband networks.<<
