Net neutrality law to take effect in California after judge deals blow to telecom industry
Trump's administration struck down net neutrality. California passed protection for it. Telecoms sued. California just won the lawsuit.
"Decision could open the door for other states to pass open-Internet rules the Trump administration opposed
California may soon begin enforcing its first-in-the-nation net neutrality law after a federal judge on Tuesday ruled against broadband providers that had sought to scuttle the state’s open-Internet safeguards.
The ruling amounts to a major victory for advocates of rules that require AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and other telecom giants to treat all Web traffic equally, potentially setting the stage for states nationwide to follow California’s lead and adopt tough new protections of their own."
That was the Obama Administration's policy, until the ISP industry's best lobbyist became chair of the FCC.
Comcast, Verizon, Cox and the rest were all set to start trying to make the internet work like cable TV.
