Net neutrality rules spared — for now

Although a D.C. appeals court has just thrown out Verizon’s lawsuit against the new net neutrality rules, it’s worth noting that the suit has not been thrown out for any reason relating to the substance of the case. National Journal reports:

A D.C. court of appeals has thrown out Verizon’s challenge to recent net neutrality rules, saying the company filed the lawsuit prematurely.
Verizon launched the legal challenge before the rules, which were enacted in December, were filed in the Federal Registry.
