A much-anticipated联邦上诉法院关于网络中立的决定给出了辩论的双方有机会索赔胜利。

在周二发布的近200页的意见中,DC Circuit Court of Appeals upheld大多数联邦通信委员会在互联网交通中废除了奥巴马时代的规则。法院一致认为,该机构在Deregurs宽带公司像康卡斯特和Verizon这样的宽带公司时没有过度覆盖其权威。

But the court also struck down a key aspect of the agency's order, which allowed the FCC to preempt laws that states had enacted to protect net neutrality, the concept that all internet traffic should be treated the same. The court also told the FCC it didn't give adequate consideration to how the repeal would affect public safety and programs, such as Lifeline, which provides subsidies to low-income individuals for phone and internet services.

The mixed decision has both sides of the controversial issue declaring they're the winner. One thing they can agree on is that the fight will continue, with many calling on Congress to take action to settle the controversy once and for all.

Here are some reactions from both sides of the debate. They've been edited for length.

网络中立支持者

皮特Buttigieg, 2020 Presidential candidate and mayor of South Bend, Indiana

“我们为开放互联网的斗争才刚刚开始。作为总统,我将使净中立的土地法则,扩大互联网接入和机会,并保护未来几代人的自由思想流动。”

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra

“今天的决定阻止了FCC通过监管抢占国家净中立法律的努力。该决定还强调了FCC未能充分考虑公共安全的问题,或对低收入美国人的影响,当它发出这种不明显的统治时。”

Vice President of Policy and General Counsel for Free Press Matt Wood

[FCC Commissioner Ajit] Pai may try a victory lap for today's decision, but no one will be cheering besides his small circle of advisers and the lobbyists that give him his marching orders. The Senate must pass the Save the Internet Act that sailed through the House in April to put the 2015 open-internet rules and the wildly successful legal framework for them even more firmly back in place."

Legal Director for Public Knowledge John Bergmayer

"We are gratified that the court agreed with Public Knowledge and other petitioners on the matter of preemption. As we argued, once the Commission decided not to regulate broadband, it lost the ability to preempt states from doing so. The Commission's choice to give up oversight of broadband means that states now have the clear authority to step in to protect consumers and promote competition where the FCC is unwilling to do so.

“法院的决定留给各州明确path forward to enact state net neutrality laws to protect internet users and provide certainty for participants in the digital economy. States should move expeditiously to protect consumers where the FCC has refused to do so.

Santa Clara County Counsel James R. Williams

“我们感到满意,法院认识并理解法律要求FCC考虑公共安全,我们将注意委员会认真对待责任。我们也很高兴该法院已承认该责任加州和其他国家的权威来制定自己的常见意义网络中立规则。我们期待着支持加州的网络中立规则。“

FCC.Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, Democrat

"When the FCC rolled back net neutrality it was on the wrong side of the American people and the wrong side of history. Today's court decision shows that the agency also got it wrong on the law. The agency made a mess when it gave broadband providers the power to block websites, throttle services and censor online content."

California State Sen. Scott Wiener(Democrat of San Francisco), author of California's net neutrality law (SB 822)

"Net neutrality is critical for a free and open internet and for our democracy. We all must have the right to decide -- and not have corporations decide for us -- where we go on the internet and what information we receive...While I'm disappointed that the federal appeals court largely upheld the Trump FCC's repeal of net neutrality, I'm thrilled that the court rejected the FCC's effort to preempt state net neutrality laws."

House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone Jr. (Democrat of New Jersey) and House Communications and Technology Chairman Mike Doyle (Democrat of Pennsylvania)

"The Trump administration's decision to abandon net neutrality continues to harm consumers and small businesses, leaving a few large corporations in control of an essential component of modern life. In April, the House passed the Save the Internet Act to restore basic consumer protections online and preserve a free and open Internet. This decision reiterates that the Senate needs to act quickly to pass that legislation to put Americans, not corporations, first."

Sen. Edward J. Markey (Democrat of Massachusetts), a member of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee and Senate author of the保存互联网行为

“比以往任何时候都是令人生畏的”拯救互联网法“。本立法确实正是美国人民想要的 - 它恢复了确保家庭不受价格上涨的规则,互联网速度较慢,甚至被阻止的网站,因为大宽带提供商想要加大利润。我呼吁领导者[Mitch] McConnell停止阻挠,并向4月份通过代表院的立法表决。我们所知道的互联网的未来取决于它。“

Supporters of FCC net neutrality repeal

FCC.Chairman Ajit Pai, Republican

"Today's decision is a victory for consumers, broadband deployment, and the free and open Internet. The court affirmed the FCC's decision to repeal 1930s utility-style regulation of the Internet imposed by the prior administration. The court also upheld our robust transparency rule so that consumers can be fully informed about their online options. Since we adopted the Restoring Internet Freedom Order, consumers have seen 40% faster speeds and millions more Americans have gained access to the internet. A free and open internet is what we have today and what we'll continue to have moving forward. We look forward to addressing on remand the narrow issues that the court identified."

FCC.Commissioner Brendan Carr, Republican

"The internet has flourished under the light touch approach to regulation that the FCC restored in 2017. Since then, internet speeds are up, prices are down, and the US leapfrogged our global competitors to secure the largest 5G build in the world. By affirming the FCC's authority to take this modern approach to internet regulation, today's court decision will enable us to build on this success for the benefit of all Americans."

Jonathan Spalter, president and CEO of USTelecom, a trade organization representing telephone companies

"The court got it right and affirmed what anyone who has been paying attention to Washington's net neutrality saga knows to be true: the internet is open, ISPs are investing to bring internet users the content they want, and we remain absolutely opposed to anti-consumer practices like blocking, throttling and anti-competitive paid-prioritization.

"Where do we go from here? While we are still reviewing the details, one thing is clear: Congress must end this regulatory rinse and repeat cycle by passing a strong national framework that applies to all companies, maintains our dynamic and open internet, and sustains our global digital leadership for the next generation and beyond."

Michael Powell, former FCC chairman and president & CEO of NCTA, a trade group representing broadband and cable operators

“我们对法院的决定遵守FCC的”轻触“监管框架的宽带的决定。正如法院所肯定的那样,公用事业风格的监管特别适用于宽带的动态行业,如技术创新和破坏。

"As a practical matter, today's decision will have little impact on consumers' internet experience. It does nothing to change our industry's enduring commitment to providing consumers with the same open internet experience that has been delivered for decades. Only Congress can provide permanent, common sense open internet protections. We urge lawmakers to work together in a bipartisan fashion to craft those rules and provide certainty for consumers and businesses small and large that rely on the internet for continued growth and opportunity."

Meredith Atwell Baker,前FCC专员和CTIA总裁兼首席执行官是代表无线行业的贸易团体

"The wireless industry supports an open internet, and we are pleased that the court upheld the FCC's authority to classify mobile broadband. The time is now right for Congress to enshrine permanent neutrality protections into law, thereby safeguarding consumers' interests without discouraging network investments which are vital to promoting innovation and creating jobs."

Sen. Roger Wicker (Republican of Mississippi), chairman of the商务,科学和运输委员会和亚利桑那州的民主党人

"Today's ruling makes clear that Title II regulations [the legal classification that treats broadband like a public utility service] are not required for maintaining an open internet. It is incumbent on Congress to pass federal net neutrality standards that will protect consumers, promote broader access to the internet, and ensure internet providers treat content from all sources fairly," Wicker said. "We need straightforward guidelines that will not change based on who occupies the White House. I look forward to continuing to work toward these goals with Senator Sinema as we seek to find common ground on this important issue."

“网络中立性对于维持充满活力的互联网至关重要。我们需要一个现代的互联网特定的框架,鼓励自由和创新,使互联网成为今天的重要工具,”Semema说。“今天的法院决定使得大会必须通过两党,全面的网络中立解决方案,为消费者和提供者提供确定性。”
