[1st-mile-nm] NN Query

[Richard Lowenberg]

Given the amount of 'noise' as well as informative info., for those
who can parse it, I'm personally pleased that we've not had a major
Network Neutrality back-and-forth on this list.

The Benton Foundation has long been a good (biased?) source of info.
for those wanting to follow news aggregation on this and other
tele-networking matters.  https://www.benton.org/headlines

Here's the excerpted conclusion of their long, multi-sourced Friday 
report:

"Even before the FCC's Order was released, a number of groups (including 
states) promised to challenge it in court."

"The litigation process will not begin today. First, the FCC order will 
have to be released and published in the Federal Register. Although FCC 
Chairman Pai may want to move fast, that process could take days or 
weeks. FCC staff indicated after the FCC's meeting December 14 that the 
Office of Management and Budget will have to approve the FCC's new 
transparency rule, a process that could take months."

"After suits are filed -- and, seriously, suits will be filed -- it 
could take 6 months or longer before a trial begins and another six 
months or so before a decision comes down. Whoever loses -- the FCC or 
the loyal opposition -- could then appeal the ruling. So this fight will 
continue through 2018, possibly (well, likely, actually) becoming an 
election issue. All cheer regulatory certainty!"
