In what could be a step in the right direction an federal appeals court today has overruled a FCC decision saying that the FCC made a mistake when it classified Cable Internet as an information service. The ruling basically says that Cable Internet is a telecommunication service.
“Consumer groups applauded the decision, which ultimately could lead to rules requiring cable Internet providers to open their lines. With only a handful of exceptions, the cable companies act as the Internet service provider for their customers.” [MSNBC]
