Court upholds New York law that says ISPs must offer $15 broadband
Court upholds New York law that says ISPs must offer $15 broadband
New York obtains significant win for states' ability to regulate broadband.
Trade groups claimed the state law is preempted by former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai's repeal of net neutrality rules. Pai's repeal placed ISPs under the more forgiving Title I regulatory framework instead of the common-carrier framework in Title II of the Communications Act. 2nd Circuit judges did not find this argument convincing:
Second, the ABA is not conflict-preempted by the Federal Communications Commission's 2018 order classifying broadband as an information service. That order stripped the agency of its authority to regulate the rates charged for broadband Internet, and a federal agency cannot exclude states from regulating in an area where the agency itself lacks regulatory authority. Accordingly, we REVERSE the judgment of the district court and VACATE the permanent injunction.
You're viewing a single thread.
Leopards ate my face but even though corporations are people they can not have their faces eaten in quite the same way
These shitheads have received massive government handouts to build infrastructure, which they simply pocketed. Nobody's face has been eaten in the slightest. To this day they are still maliciously suing to prevent municipal internets from providing real competition.
There's still a very stacked and extremely corrupt scotus.
Yep we shall see god dam if these asshats fought half as hard as they do against poor people for the general public good where would we be
A heavily regulated capitalist country, for sure.
You thinkk we would be as happy as some of these social democrat countries in Northern Europe these damn republicans seems to like
Happier in general, healthier, threat of extinction farther away. The greedy wouldn't be happier, and it would require a better educated, more vigilant populace without the illusion they too, could some day become part of the leopard class. We'd need better auditing of books, public and private. Fines that were actually punitive, with the certainty of incarceration (more humanely), as well as public record of wrong and correcting measures, and certain nationalization of businesses caught in malfeasance a second time. I think essential goods and services should be nationalized anyway, but that's an unpopular opinion on my instance.
Would you like to retry that sober?
From the article isps fought against fcc regulations which subjected them to state regulations, hence leopards ate my face fyi
Great cover, you drunk and useless person.
Are you… are you ok?
That’s pretty aggressive just because you don’t get the joke
When did I claim to be useful?
You're even funnier the second time
Since you're stupid let me explain, what i believe he's saying is that even though corporations are a "person" according to the law certain things that can happen to actual persons (like a leopard eating someone's face) can't happen to a corporations
Since you're stupid let me explain
That response is awesome.
