Verizon Files Suit Challenging Net Neutrality

read more hereVerizon Communications Inc. is suing the Federal Communications Commission over the Commission's network neutrality order.

"We believe this assertion of authority goes well beyond any authority provided by Congress, and creates uncertainty for the communications industry, innovators, investors and consumers," Verizon senior vice president and deputy general counsel Michael E. Glover said in a written statement

Verizon filed the appeal Thursday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, arguing that the FCC's order oversteps the Commission's authority.

The court challenge probably is not the last to be filed. The Verizon challenge is essentially jurisdictional. But other parties might want to challenge the policy on other grounds.
