The latest in the net neutrality fight
The first lawsuit has been filed. Meanwhile, efforts to get Congress to pass a net neutrality law are also progressing. There are now 50 votes in the Senate to back such a bill, but the House has far more representatives in the pockets of Verizon, AT&T and Comcast.

The attorneys general of 22 states filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to block the Federal Communications Commission’s repeal of regulations that ensure an equal and open internet.
The petition to begin the lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court of Appeals in Washington, is the first legal challenge against the F.C.C.’s order in December. Several others are expected, including by public interest groups such as Public Knowledge and Free Press, which argue that the F.C.C.’s order was harmful to consumers and was done hastily and without proper public input.

All 49 Democratic senators are ready to support legislation protecting net neutrality.

Just one out of 51 Republican senators is ready to support net neutrality. Yeah, both parties are the same.

Re: The latest in the net neutrality fight
Montana and New York have already passed rules that prevent ISPs from receiving state contracts if they violate net neutrality. That is a good first step. California is now taking this further; the state senate has passed a bill that directly requires ISPs to maintain neutrality towards traffic.
