It will take a while to feel this, but we are going to feel it.
From Fox:
The so called “net neutrality” rule, put in place by the FCC in 2010, was intended to ensure equal access to all types of content. Regulators and politicians feared a tiered access to premium content or that ISPs might unfairly fast-track access to their own content over competitors.“A broadband provider like Comcast might limit its end-user subscribers’ ability to access The New York Times website if it wanted to spike traffic to its own news website,” the ruling notes.
But because of a quirk in how the government regulates Internet service providers — almost a technicality in how the FCC ruling was written — the court said that the regulatory agency didn’t have the legal basis for its own policy.
“Because the Commission has failed to establish that the anti-discrimination and anti-blocking rules do not impose per se common carrier obligations, we vacate those portions of the Open Internet Order,” it noted.
The ruling was the conclusion to a long-running challenge to the law by Verizon Communications. In a statement Tuesday on its public policy blog, the company stressed that it had no plans to institute any form of tiered access program.
[…]“The FCC’s Open Internet Rules represented an important — if imperfect — regulatory intervention to preserve the ability of broadband consumers to access the content of their choosing,” Morris said in a statement. “Without these rules, consumers are at the mercy of their providers and the business arrangements those providers have already said they would implement absent the rules – business arrangements that could severely limit access to certain content online.”
[…]The FCC said it was weighing all of its options, including potentially appealing the ruling.
“We will consider all available options, including those for appeal, to ensure that these networks on which the Internet depends continue to provide a free and open platform for innovation and expression, and operate in the interest of all Americans,” said FCC Chairman Thomas Wheeler in a statement.
The good news is, this might somehow shut down the internet blacks. Or so the blacks fear.
