On the other hand, New York AG Letitia James, commented, “We stand committed to protecting our residents by treating all internet traffic equally, defending access, innovation, and competition. It’s unfortunate that the court has sanctioned the federal government’s abandonment of those principles.”
Meanwhile, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, tweeted, Today’s D.C. Circuit decision is a big victory for consumers! The court affirmed the FCC’s decision to repeal 1930s utility-style regulation of the Internet. A free and open Internet is what we have today. A free and open Internet is what we’ll continue to have going forward.”
