Today, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a petition by broadband providers to rehear the court\u2019s decision in ACA Connects v. Bonta<\/em><\/a>, rejecting yet another attempt by broadband providers to overturn California\u2019s net neutrality law. Earlier this year<\/a>, the court issued its opinion and determined the California consumer protection law could go into effect. Public Knowledge and other consumer groups filed an amicus brief<\/a> in this case last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following can be attributed to John Bergmayer, Legal Director at Public Knowledge:

\u201cAs expected, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected yet another attempt by internet service providers to overturn California\u2019s strong net neutrality law<\/a>. The California net neutrality law is now undefeated in court after four attempts to eliminate it. Net neutrality protections nationally continue to be common sense and popular with the public among all ideologies. It\u2019s good news that Californians will continue to enjoy this important consumer protection, and we look forward to a full Federal Communications Commission restoring net neutrality nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
