You don't know what you're talking about. The rules went into effect January 3rd: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/02/2016-28006/protecting-the-privacy-of-customers-of-broadband-and-other-telecommunications-services https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/02/2016-28...
They used the Congressional Review Act to strike it down, which requires that it be a new federal regulation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Review_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Review_Act
The CRA includes this, too, so the FCC can no longer do anything about it without a new law passed by Congress:
Once a rule is thus repealed, the CRA also prohibits the reissuing of the rule in substantially the same form or the issuing of a new rule that is substantially the same, "unless the reissued or new rule is specifically authorized by a law enacted after the date of the joint resolution disapproving the original rule"
- belovedeagle 10y agoPlease read your source more carefully: > Effective January 3, 2017, except for §§ 64.2003, 64.2004, 64.2006, and 64.2011(b) which contain information collection requirements that have not yet been approved by OMB. The section in question in the article is 64.2004. It did not go into effect on January 3.
- matthew-wegner 10y agoWell, it looks like I don't know what I'm talking about. The CRA still ensures it will never come to pass, in any form out of the FCC, and I guess the clauses on data security and breach notifications are considered acceptable collateral damage here.
