The fcc tried this in 2008 to a more limited degree and got clobbered in court. So, they reclassified broadband providers as public utilities in this specific rule set, in an attempt to give themselves regulatory authority, but did so through non-statutory fiat (no law has been passed here). Broadband companies are certainly going to argue that they do not fit this description and that the fcc did this to circumvent previous decisions regarding net neutrality by the courts. They will have at least a reasonable chance of winning I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter company has threatened to sue the commission, CNN reported earlier this month.
