FCC's Pai Says Net Neutrality Rules Cause Uncertainty

A U.S. appeals court declined to reconsider the Federal Communications Commission’s so-called net neutrality rule barring internet service providers from slowing or blocking rivals’ content.
The court’s ruling last year was a triumph for companies such as Netflix Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google that use broadband networks to reach customers. It was a setback for telecommunications providers including AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. and cable providers led by Comcast Corp., who said the rule brought intrusive government oversight and threatened investment and innovation.
