Verizon has filed an appeal with the US Court of Appeals in Washington today contesting the FCC's new Net Neutrality policy. Verizon says it is "deeply concerned" with the new regulations the FCC intends to peruse. The press release is short on details, but their objection almost certainly lies in the rules placed on wireless networks. Specifically that service cannot be blocked outright, which is one of the few restrictions the FCC committed to.
The policy was laid out just last month, and Verizon expressed discomfort at the time, so this action is not a complete surprise. In fact, we're surprised other carriers haven't yet joined them in filing appeals. Verizon proclaims its support of an "Open Internet" several times in the press release, so expect some spin no matter how this goes. Now all we have to do is wait for the courts to decide the issue. We'll let you know when that happens.
