More Groups File Suit Over FCC's Net Neutrality Rules

Grass roots organizations think FCC's rules are too weak

This should keep the lawyers at the Federal Communications Commission busy: Three more groups have filed lawsuits against the FCC's controversial net neutrality rules, which will go into effect Nov. 20. Like the liberal public interest group Free Press, which filed suit on Wednesday, the grass roots organizations that will be the plaintiffs in this case support net neutrality, but not the FCC's rules, which are tougher on wired services than on wireless.  

All three organizations suing the FCC—the Media Mobilizing Project in Philadelphia, Mountain Area Information Network, and Access Humboldt—are being represented by the Media Access Project, a liberal group.
