This was not activist judges. The Judge in question agreed with Net Neutrality. The problem was that according to the Law, the FCC does not have the legal right to make law. It can set regulations, but not create law. Net Neutrality entered the realm of Law and thus lost the case. We the people, need to call our congressmen and senators that they place a bill before Congress that reinstates the Net Neutrality law.

the FCC has every right to regulate communications.

ISP's are not information providers. they are telecommunications corporations.

as soon as the FCC reclassifies ISP's as communication network providers - because that's what they really are - the appeals court ruling will be moot. the ruling rests on ISP's being classified as information services, and that the FCC does not have the same jurisdictional rights to regulate information as it does to regulate communication.

think about that for a minute -- this ruling rests on the premise that Verizon isn't a telcom corporation.

bogus, isn't it?

but the FCC back in the 80's or something classified ISP's as information services. this was before actual telecommunications services started offering web access.
