WASHINGTON, Aug 26, 2024 – Federal regulators now have a court date to try to inject new life into their impaired Internet competition rules. It’s Halloween.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati announced Monday that it will hear oral arguments in the Net Neutrality case on Oct. 31, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. ET.
The arguments will be live streamed but audio only, according to Sixth Circuit Clerk Kelly Stephens. The court has not disclosed the name of the judges who will hear the case on the merits.
The efforts are not termed ‘investigations,’ but - signed only by Democrats - demand answers from Carr.
Regional ISP urged regulators to adopt reforms modeled on federal rules.
The Federal Communications Commission is seeking comment on the proposal.
Wulfsen argued that fiber is a better long-term investment than satellite.
