> As to the recent court ruling in Comcast v. FCC, the decision did not go to

> Internet. Instead, the ruling focuses on whether the FCC's legal
> jurisdiction extends to ISP network management practices. The court
> determined that the existing law does not give the FCC jurisdiction.

> FCC regarding implementation of the National Broadband Plan and rules
> regarding the Open Internet. It will be very interesting to see how this
