According to him, “Of course, I very much want to see California’s net neutrality law go into effect immediately, in order to protect access to the internet. Yet, I also understand and support the Attorney General’s rationale for allowing the DC Circuit appeal to be resolved before we move forward to defend our net neutrality law in court…”
On the other hand, the state’s Attorney General Xavier Becerra, stressed, “We are committed to a free and open internet for Californians. Every step we take, every action we launch is intended to put us in the best position to preserve net neutrality for the 40 million people of our state.”
FCC Chairman reiterates that California’s net neutrality law is “onerous”
Meanwhile, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai commented that California’s agreement shows that the federal government case is strong. It will allow Californians to “continue to enjoy free data plans.”
“I am pleased that California has agreed not to enforce its onerous Internet regulations. This substantial concession reflects the strength of the case made by the United States earlier this month…Indeed, California’s agreement not to enforce these regulations will allow Californians to continue to enjoy free-data plans that have proven to be popular among consumers,” said Pai.
