Opponents of the Federal Communications Commission’s “net neutrality” rules are getting their day in court.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia will be hearing oral arguments against the FCC’s decision on December 4 in Washington, D.C., Reuters reports.
The Federal Communication Commission voted by majority in February to follow rules that would block ISPs from creating so-called “fast lanes” for priority traffic. The decision was viewed as being in favor of small businesses, entrepreneurs and consumers.
But on the other side of the issue other businesses — including Internet providers and telecom companies like Verizon and AT&T — argue the new rules will be an impediment for all.
