• Resumen

  • The FCC is set to face the first legal challenges to the Net Neutrality Order (“Order”) it passed on 12 March 2015. The Order, which imposed Title II utility regulations on the Internet and prohibited blocking and throttling traffic, was challenged in separate lawsuits filed by the United States Telecom Association (“US Telecom”), a trade group that represents some of the largest Internet providers, and Alamo Broadband (“Alamo”), a small broadband provider based in Texas.
