The media advocacy group Free Press will go to court to reverse the FCC’s gutting of internet neutrality protections, said spokesperson Tim Karr. “This is a very corrupt process,” said Karr. “It involves individuals who are captured by industry.”

Victor Pickard, a professor at the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania, agrees. Over the past ten months, he said, the FCC commissioners “basically have satisfied a long-standing wish list for the telecommunications and broadcast industries.”
