The judicial decision of 2016 supporting the legal basis of net neutrality will be maintained, announced today the highest court in the country.

Publication of the court of today noted briefly that the appeal was dismissed because of the objections (so to speak) of Judges Thomas, Judges Alito and Gorsuch, who allegedly rejected the lower court's decision favoring the rules of neutrality of the network.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh, recently appointed by Trump, abstained from this decision because of (two) conflicts of interest:s Motherboard reported, the old "did not vote because he owns shares in Time Warner, one of the companies filing the petition for review, "while the latter"once filed an anti-neutrality dissent from the Net in this case, even when Big Telecom tried to have the CC circuit review its initial decision (Kavanaugh was outnumbered). "
USTelecom told Reuters that the action of the High Court was "not surprising" and that she "would continue to support [the repeal] challenges in Washington, DC and in state capitals ".
On Twitter, FCC commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, the only Democrat to succeed the resignation of Mignon Clyburn, said the FCC had "asked the Supreme Court to erase the story and erase a previous decision confirming the open Internet policy ".
This appeal can be settled, but many lawsuits are still pending against Internet neutrality efforts across the country, including a complaint filed by the Department of Justice to prevent Application of California's new rules. Last month, the state agreed to delay the implementation of the law pending calls for the reversal of Internet neutrality.
The legal announcement of today was the following:
US TELECOM ASSN., AND AL. V. FCC, AND AL. The certiorari order applications are dismissed. Judges Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch would allow motions, set aside the judgment of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and remit him to that court, ordering them to dismiss the cases as moot. See United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U. S. 36 (1950). The Chief Justice and Judge Kavanaugh did not participate in the review and disposition of these petitions.
