Verizon launches legal challenge to net neutrality rules

Verizon's kicked off a legal attempt to overturn the Federal Communications Commission's recently-adopted rules on net neutrality.

It's filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, challenging the FCC's Report and Order on the new rules.

"Verizon has long been committed to preserving an open internet and meeting the needs of our customers," says Michael E Glover, Verizon senior vice president and deputy general counsel.

"We have worked extensively with all players in the internet and communications space to shape policies that ensure an open internet and encourage investment, innovation and collaboration with content providers and others to meet the needs of consumers."

Glover says he believes that the FCC has gone too far in attempting to regulate how internet service providers handle the provision of content.
