Unless the agency failed to follow the procedures to issue the regulations, the lawsuit does not stand a chance.  Since the policy change reverts to the policy at the start of the previous administration - there are probably no grounds to overturn it.

Congress actually needs to act on this and a couple of other major national issues that are relatively new ground or where we have substantial changes.
a] Should pot be a federal controlled substance?
b] How should the internet be regulated?
c] What immigration rules should we have?

Reasonable approaches should be possible, if the parties did not consider themselves mortal enemies.

Forget that, I'm living in fantasy land again.

Nebraska has joined four other states in looking to pass their own Net Neutrality laws.

Honest question, because I don't remember, before the FCC passed NN, was there an issue with ISP blocking/throttling sites.

Let's be honest, if you truely want NN and near universal access to the internet at good speeds, then the government (a combo of fed, state, and local) will need to own the lines and lease it out to ISP's with NN rules just as our roads are.

Forgot to add; if the ISP's screwup enough, getting to the above becomes a lot more likely.

Tbere are multiple examples of ISPs blocking/throttling app/sites. I think Brant posted some of them up thread. IIRC one of them was Verizon blocking Facetime unless users purchased a more expensive plan.

Thanks.  I remember some of the FaceTime issues now.
