Has to go through courts before the decision is finalized, and there's a very good chance it'll be shut down there, especially because of all the fraudulent comments.

Although the best possibility is Ajit arguing something like "those comments are for show, we don't consider them".

There's also the potential argument for conflict of interest considering who Pai's former employers are.

Most likely case they'll ignore that part. He wasn't voted in, he was appointed and paid to be there.

What will happen is that we will have decent internet for maybe 2-3 years, and then the ISP's will slowly start implementing all their extra charges. If they did it now, they'd likely end up with massive class action lawsuits on their hands.

Sounds like the DC Circuit is most likely, from what I'm reading.

That doesn't change it at all.

That's far more relevant.

@OctilIery even if your case applies instead of Chevron, you'd have a hell of a time proving in court that Ajit et al. acted arbitrarily.

With all the controversy about comments let alone public disapproval? Hardly.
