> Lobby groups representing cable, telecom, and mobile Internet service providers sued the FCC in several US appeals courts last week. Industry groups also filed a petition with the FCC on Friday asking for a stay of the rules, claiming the regulations shouldn't take effect while litigation is pending because the industry is likely to prevail in court.
> If the industry loses at the appeals-court level again, lobby groups would seek review at the Supreme Court. Their hopes depend partly on Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who argued in a 2017 dissent as a circuit court judge that the "net neutrality rule is unlawful and must be vacated" because "Congress did not clearly authorize the FCC to issue the net neutrality rule."
As I predicited six months ago that the US Supreme Court is going to have to get involved to settle this matter one way or another: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38224394 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38224394
