FCC ignored your net neutrality omment, unless you made a ‘serious' egal argument mun-auroralore: mountmultimuses mountmultimuses kingquagmire: In other words, f--- the will of the people... EVERYONE, PLEASE! READ UP ON YOUR LAWS! THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY TO BEAT THIS THING!!! zbbayesk How about this for a very specific legal issue. By legal definition these ISPs fall under tile 2 telco restrictions ever since they started powering 911, Amber Alerts, Emergency Broadcast System, etc over Internet. Remember how they keep pushing you to VOIP services? Well they just locked themselves in for that responsibility and as such are under these guidelines Posted on Nov 23, 2017 12:46 AM zbbayesk In case someone doesn't believe that 911 services are powered and distributed via internet, this very thing happened in what was essentially a content/throttling issue. A911 outrage happened to a huge swath of wireless AT&T customers who were unable to contact 911 due to not having whitelisted 911 service IP addresses https://www.fiercewireless.com/wirelesslat-t-S.91 1-Outage-result-mistakes-made-by-at-t.fccふ pai-says And they got fined for it. As such they still by definition fall under title 2 telco restrictions. Posted on Nov 23, 2017 12:58 AM So this was in the comments from that link. Can someone confirm that this is true? Because if it is, this could be what helps save Net Neutrality

…okay, now I'm a little worried. I had faith that Anonymous would effortlessly stonewall the anti-Net Neutrality motion just like they did to SOPA and PIPA, but if the FCC is going to just flat-out ignore them…

…

Okay, it may be time to doxx the shit out of Pajt.

Currently the internet is regulated as a title 2. Title 2 gives the FCC enough authority for net neutrality to be enforced. Pai has claimed to support net neutrality but his plan will reclassify it to something else that the FCC doesn't have enough authority over to regulate. So yes ISPs are regulated under title 2, and in my opinion they should be, but that is what will change.

One criticism of their being under title 2 is it imposes many constraints on an ISP that don't make sense. Under Tom Wheeler the FCC used forbearance on (aka will not enforce) parts of title 2 unrelated to providing internet and net neutrality which, without new legislation from congress, is the surest legal foundation for neutrality.

We were worried about net neutrality with Wheeler as well, but he changed his mind when historically high (for the FCC) amounts of citizen letters were sent on the topic.
