The FCC is having to go to court to defend its net neutrality rules

I think it’s safe to say that broadband providers weren’t very pleased when the FCC announced its net neutrality rules, and when I say that, I mean they’ve been doing anything and everything in their power to try and get the rules changed or removed entirely. Yesterday, the FCC had to defend its rules against these broadband providers in front of a United States appeals court in a hearing that lasted more than three hours. Last year, the same appeals court ruled that, while the FCC used the wrong legal reasoning for implementing the rules, protecting net neutrality is essential to preventing broadband providers from harming Internet openness.
