Image: Shutterstock\u00a0<\/p>\n<div readability=\"129.36227661228\">\n<p>The Department of Justice has sued the state of California after Governor Jerry Brown signed California\u2019s first net neutrality bill, <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB822\" target=\"_blank\">SB822<\/a>, into law Sunday evening. It\u2019s the start of a new chapter in the never-ending battle to keep the internet healthy and competitive in the face of growing telecom monopoly power.<\/p>\n<p>Like the FCC\u2019s dismantled 2015 net neutrality rules, SB822 prohibits ISPs from unfairly throttling or blocking websites and services that compete with an ISP\u2019s own offerings.<\/p>\n<p>The bill also places meaningful restrictions on behaviors like \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/topic\/zero-rating\" target=\"_blank\">zero rating<\/a>,\u201d a practice that lets deep-pocketed companies buy an unfair advantage by exempting their content from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techdirt.com\/articles\/20160105\/08100533246\/with-fixed-costs-fat-margins-comcasts-broadband-cap-justifications-are-total-bullshit.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">arbitrary<\/a> broadband usage caps and overage fees. SB822 also prohibits the kind of anti-competitive interconnection shenanigans that slowed customer Netflix streams <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/256586\/the-inside-story-of-how-netflix-came-to-pay-comcast-for-internet-traffic\/\" target=\"_blank\">back in 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the Trump administration does everything in its power to undermine our democracy, we in California will continue to do what\u2019s right for our residents,&#8221; bill author and California State Senator Scott Wiener said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Within hours of Brown signing SB822, the Trump administration Department of Justice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/justice-department-files-net-neutrality-lawsuit-against-state-california-0\" target=\"_blank\">issued a statement<\/a> stating that it would be suing California over the new law , claiming it \u201cunlawfully imposes burdens on the Federal Government\u2019s deregulatory approach to the Internet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SB822 had already faced a tumultuous path in the run up to Brown\u2019s signing, with entrenched broadband providers like AT&amp;T and Comcast attempting to hamstring the effort at every turn.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/pav4vv\/atandt-trickery-helps-kill-californias-looming-net-neutrality-law\" target=\"_blank\">Procedural gamesmanship<\/a> back in June nearly stripped away many of the bill\u2019s most important components. ISP-linked groups also conducted extremely <a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/594vzd\/big-telecom-is-using-robocalls-to-fight-a-net-neutrality-bill-in-california\" target=\"_blank\">misleading robocalls aimed at senior citizens<\/a> in further efforts to hamstring the proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Public backlash to those efforts forced the California Assembly and Senate to approve a fully-intact version of the bill <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Scott_Wiener\/status\/1035309273213886465?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">in late August<\/a>. ISP lobbyists met with Brown in early September urging him to veto the measure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pressure from the big broadband providers to kill or water down the bill was enormous,\u201d said former FCC lawyer Gigi Sohn in a statement to Motherboard. \u201cWhat happened in California should send a message to other states and to Congress\u2015the American people want the open Internet protected, and they will fight extremely hard until they achieve that goal,\u201d Sohn said.<\/p>\n<p>Groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation have called California\u2019s net neutrality bill the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2018\/04\/day-action-help-california-pass-gold-standard-net-neutrality-bill\" target=\"_blank\">gold standard<\/a>\u201d for other states looking to pass their own laws. More than half the states in the country are considering either net neutrality laws, or executive orders prohibiting states from doing business with ISPs that behave anti-competitively.<\/p>\n<p>Former Verizon lawyer turned FCC boss Ajit Pai <a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/8x7nzx\/ajit-pai-calls-california-net-neutrality-law-radical-and-illegal\" target=\"_blank\">has called<\/a> California\u2019s bill both \u201cillegal\u201d and \u201cradical.\u201d ISPs have also threatened to \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2018\/03\/attverizon-lobbyists-to-aggressively-sue-states-that-enact-net-neutrality\/\" target=\"_blank\">aggressively<\/a>\u201d sue states that pass their own net neutrality rules, though have yet to carry through on those threats. Given the Department of Justice\u2019s lawsuit, they may not need to lift a finger.<\/p>\n<p>However, such lawsuits may have a steep, uphill climb. In part because the FCC has ironically undermined its own authority to tell states what to do.<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/ecfsapi.fcc.gov\/file\/1102951806926\/Comcast%20OI%20ex%20parte%2011-1-17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">ISP lobbyist behest<\/a>, the FCC included language in its net neutrality repeal attempting to \u201cpre-empt\u201d (read: ban) states from protecting broadband consumers in the wake of federal apathy. But legal experts like Stanford Law Professor Barbara van Schewick <a href=\"http:\/\/cyberlaw.stanford.edu\/blog\/2018\/03\/sb-822-would-secure-net-neutrality-california\" target=\"_blank\">have argued<\/a> that the FCC eliminated its right to tell states what to do when it killed net neutrality last fall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn agency that has no power to regulate has no power to preempt the states, according to case law,\u201d van Schewick said in a statement provided to Motherboard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the FCC repealed the 2015 Open Internet Order, it said it had no power to regulate broadband internet access providers,\u201d van Schewick added. \u201cThat means the FCC cannot prevent the states from adopting net neutrality protections because the FCC\u2019s repeal order removed its authority to adopt such protections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Courts have so far agreed. Charter Spectrum, the nation\u2019s second-largest cable provider, has tried to use the FCC\u2019s pre-emption language to tap dance around a lawsuit in New York State over terrible service and slow speeds. But the courts have so far <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techdirt.com\/articles\/20180621\/14221440085\/court-says-isps-cant-use-net-neutrality-repeal-to-dodge-lawsuits-shitty-service.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">rejected Charter\u2019s arguments<\/a>, stating that states still have the right to rein in ISP \u201cfraud, deception, and false advertising.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Such efforts face an uphill public relations battle given the <a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/7x9kyg\/most-americans-support-the-net-neutrality-rules-that-trumps-fcc-wants-to-kill\" target=\"_blank\">broad, bipartisan support<\/a> net neutrality continues to enjoy. <a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/vbyq5a\/22-states-are-suing-the-fcc-for-repealing-net-neutrality\" target=\"_blank\">22 states<\/a> have already sued the government for ignoring the will of the public on net neutrality, with opening arguments for that case expected sometime in the next few months.<\/p>\n<p>With similar state laws passed in <a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/ywx5pw\/which-states-have-net-neutrality-laws\" target=\"_blank\">Oregon and Washington<\/a>, the entire west coast is now covered by state-level net neutrality protections. That\u2019s certainly not the endgame telecom giants like Comcast and AT&amp;T envisioned after spending significant time and money to dismantle federal net neutrality protections with the help of the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>READ MORE <a
