- jedberg 7y agoThat was what the lawsuit was about. To stop him enforcing NN. Verizon won.
- nl 7y ago> He never enforced a single NN violation. He certainly did! > Tom Wheeler defeats the broadband industry: Net neutrality wins in court > Total victory for FCC as appeals court decision upholds net neutrality order. I think the top comment on ArsTechnica there is telling: If you told me 5 years ago that a 20-year lobbyist veteran would be named the head of the FCC and reclassify the wired and wireless internet agencies under Title II, I'd have punched you in the arm and called you a fucking liar. I have never been more happy to be proven wrong about a book's cover than I have been with Mr. Wheeler. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/06/net-neutrality-and-title-ii-win-in-court-as-isps-lose-case-against-fcc/?comments=1&post=31371801 https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/06/net-neutrality-a...
