The net neutrality decision [PDF] came from the US Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia, and was a 2–1 ruling in favor of the mobile
phone carrier Verizon. Verizon had challenged the Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) "Open Internet" rule, which specified that ISPs could
not discriminate between different bits of data that they deliver to
customers. In particular, the rules specified that ISPs cannot block,
slow down, or expedite some data traffic while treating other traffic by
different rules.
