I admit I'm not great at legal stuff, but the article I read stated the broadband industry is involved:
"The Trump administration and broadband industry are resuming their fight against California's net neutrality law, with the US Department of Justice and ISP lobby groups filing new complaints against the state yesterday."
"Now that the Trump administration and broadband industry have filed amended complaints..."
"The broadband industry's amended complaint was filed by the major lobby groups representing cable, fiber, DSL, and mobile Internet providers."

Here is the complaint itself, with plaintiffs "AMERICAN CABLE ASSOCIATION, CTIA – THE WIRELESS ASSOCIATION, NCTA – THE INTERNET & TELEVISION ASSOCIATION, and USTELECOM – THE BROADBAND ASSOCIATION, on behalf of their members":

If I'm reading this right, the FCC filed a separate complaint. So you're right: I (and you) am paying to hurt myself, twice! Awesome.
