You'll of course recall that the FCC's original 2010 net neutrality rules didn't do much of anything and exempted wireless networks completely, in large part because they were written by Verizon and Google. As such, companies like AT&T and Comcast actually really liked the rules, because, from their perspective, they effectively "settled the conversation," but in the process didn't even cover the biggest emerging technology in the history of the Internet (wireless), and generally allowed all manner of shenanigans provided ISPs were just clever enough with the presentation (or blamed the network congestion bogeyman).

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.
