Attorney General Andy Beshear is asking an appeals court to block the federal government’s retreat from previous broadband protections that were meant to keep broadband and wireless providers from slowing or blocking Kentuckians’ internet service. The protections, known as Net Neutrality, are at the heart of a lawsuit by Beshear and 22 other attorneys general asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to vacate and reverse the 2017 rollback of the regulations by the Federal Communications Commission. The brief, by the AGs claims that the FCC’s order is arbitrary and capricious and puts consumers at risk of abusive practices by broadband providers; and that the FCC’s order preempts state and local regulation of broadband service.
