You're the only person not to sue California for net neutrality

On Wednesday, four industry groups sued California for its new network neutrality law, SB 822, which joined the US federal government.

California law requires Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to offer all types of content at the same speed and price, and prohibits the so-called zero rating, which is when a content provider pays the Internet Service Provider for the Internet. free delivery to its customers. Federal rules required it from 2015 until last year, when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revised them in June.

Washington State passed its own Internet Neutrality Act in February, and California quickly began developing its own Internet Neutrality Act and even negotiated with industry players to mitigate the effects.

Several states have already sued the federal government for the FCC rule change. The most likely scenario is that these new lawsuits will be resolved by the outcome of this case, ArsTechnica reports.

"The big telecom companies hate the net neutrality bill in California because it prevents them from getting more into their customers," Fight for the Future's deputy director, Deadline Hollywood, told reporters.

Meanwhile, industry lobbyists will continue to press:

"We will continue our work so that Congress adopts bipartite legislation creating a permanent framework for the protection of the open internet expected and deserved by consumers," said an industry group, CTIA, NCTA, USTelecom and the American Cable Association.
