(Ars Technica) The Federal Communications Commission chairman is expecting lawsuits challenging the FCC's net neutrality order, but is confident that this time the rules will survive.
Verizon sued to block rules issued in 2010, and won when a federal appeals court said in January 2014 that the FCC erred by imposing per se common carrier regulations on broadband providers, which the FCC had never classified as common carriers. The latest net neutrality order, passed yesterday, fixes that, Wheeler said in a press conference after the vote.
