Net neutrality wins in court
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/06/net-neutrality-and-title-ii-win-in-court-as-isps-lose-case-against-fcc/
The US broadband industry has lost its lawsuit attempting to
overturn the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality
rules and the related reclassification of Internet service
providers as common carriers. ISPs' First Amendment claims
(among others) were rejected. "Because a broadband provider
does not--and is not understood by users to--"speak" when
providing neutral access to internet content as common carriage,
the First Amendment poses no bar to the open internet rules,"
the judges wrote.
