Verizon on Friday appealed the FCC’s net neutrality order, formally getting the ball rolling on the expected court battle over the controversial Internet rules.
Verizon was a vocal critic of the rules when the FCC adopted them in December, saying that the FCC does not have jurisdiction over broadband and therefore cannot regulate how Internet service providers manage the traffic that flows over their networks.
“We are deeply concerned by the FCC’s assertion of broad authority to impose potentially sweeping and unneeded regulations on broadband networks and services and on the Internet itself,” said Verizon Senior Vice President Michael Glover.
Shame on you, Verizon.
