Effective yesterday the 2015 net neutrality rules were officially repealed in the federal register. The Electonic Frontier Foundation, 22 Attorneys General and others, are now going to court to fight this repeal. Individual states are contemplating their own net neutrality laws as well. This is going to be an interesting fight.
First, under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), Congress can reverse a change in regulation with a simple majority vote. That would bring the 2015 Open Internet Order back into effect. Congress has 60 working days—starting from when the rule is published in the official record - to do this. So those 60 days start now.
