Verizon FCC Case Heads to D.C. Court

A judicial panel has chosen the D.C. Court of Appeals as the venue for the latest legal action between Verizon and the Federal Communications Commission. Politico describes the choice as an “early win” for Verizon, as the D. C. circuit is most likely to overturn net neutrality rules. The same court rejected the FCC’s authority in the Comcast P2P case in 2010, GigaOM notes.
Verizon, the biggest phone provider in the US, argues that the FCC lacks authority to regulate Internet providers.
