"I have no illusions that any of this will change what happens on February 26," when the FCC is expected to vote, AT&T Federal Regulatory VP Hank Hultquist wrote in a blog post yesterday. "But when the FCC has to defend reclassification before an appellate court, it will have to grapple with these and other arguments. "
I might be misreading something, but is he not saying "We know this is useless but we want to waste the FCC's time and resources anyways" ?
I'm not familiar with how lawsuits for these kinds of cases work, but wouldn't this be enough for a judge to throw away any lawsuit they file? If they clearly state t hey have no intention other than to get in the way, it doesn't seem like a valid lawsuit to me.

No, he's simply saying this prior release is not going to influence the FCC vote in any way, shape or form on Feb 26th. However, a court battle after-wards might (as it did previously with the FCC National Broadband Act and the courts ultimately ruled the FCC had no authority to do what they proposed).
- Tiksi 12y agoAh, alright, thanks for the clarification, I guess I did misread it.
- wmf 12y agoHe's saying that the threat of lawsuit isn't enough to prevent the FCC from going through with the reclassification, so they're going to wait for it to happen and then sue to overturn the FCC's decision.
