Supreme Court Takes Broadband Regulation Case

Grotius writes "Reuters reported that the Supreme Court will hear a broadband regulation case that may determine whether FCC regulations apply to cable companies providing broadband services. This case is significant because the Court could determine that cable-based broadband is a 'telecommunications service' subject to FCC rules such as those requiring cable-companies to allow access to independent internet providers. The 9th Circuit has already held that FCC regulations apply to cable-companies providing broadband."

Re:CALEA?

[laughingcoyote]

So far as I knew, CALEA does -not- currently apply to broadband providers, this link from the EFF [eff.org] would seem to indicate the same.

It would seem rather pointless to be "objecting" to something which has already happened...
