										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Verizon’s misstep with a fire department in California seems to only have added fuel to the Title II fire, even after the company issued an apology and cut its speed cap restrictions for first responders. The story of the Santa Clara fire department’s struggles when fighting the Mendocino fire in California is continuing to be used as an argument for repeal of the FCC’s Restoring Internet Freedom Order.</p>
<p>In an email to members, Free Press said that when the FCC repealed Title II regulations, it gave the Santa Clara fire department nowhere to go when it was attempting to get its service restored as it attempted to respond to the Mendocino fire. “But when it comes to Net Neutrality and internet access, lives are always on the line,” Free Press wrote. “Without the open internet to illuminate police brutality, the family-separation crisis, White supremacy and other injustices, we’ll see more violence and atrocities in our communities.”</p>
<p>Members of Congress aren’t ignoring the story either. Sens <i>Ed Markey</i> (D-MA), <i>Ron Wyden</i> (D-OR), <i>Richard Blumenthal</i> and Rep <i>Anna Eshoo </i>(D-CA) are set to hold a telephone press conference Tuesday at 11:30am to outline how Supreme Court nominee <i>Brett Kavanaugh</i> would be another threat to the restoration of net neutrality rules. They’ll also discuss their amicus brief in support of the challenges submitted to the US Court of Appeals’s DC circuit court against the FCC’s repeal of net neutrality rules.</p>
<p>Consumers Union filed an amicus for petitioner brief in the docket as well, chronicling the history of Title II regulation and how the internet has benefited from such rules. “Our brief sets the record straight and explains how the FCC has grappled with how to foster the internet’s growth and set in place some guardrails to ensure consumers benefited just as much as the big internet service providers for decades,” Consumers Union senior policy counsel <i>Jonathan Schwantes</i> said. “To have us believe that internet service was never regulated, or even worse, suffered under burdensome regulation flies in the face of both facts and history.”</p>
<p>Joining together on a petitioner brief were the Internet Association, Entertainment Software Association, Computer &amp; Communications Industry Association and Writers Guild of America. The group called the Restoring Internet Freedom Order “arbitrary and capricious,” not offering a reasoned basis for the decision to eliminate its conduct rules. Some are still looking to Congress, rather than the FCC or any other body, to create the proper regulations and end the internet war.</p>
<p>“It’s ironic—but not unexpected—that the companies which have become the internet’s most powerful gatekeepers are claiming to fight for a free and open internet that exempts them from the very rules for which they are advocating,” USTelecom pres/CEO <i>Jonathan Spalter</i> said regarding the petitioners’ briefs. “It’s time for Congress to pass legislation that provides uniform consumer protections that apply to all companies in the internet ecosystem, and will truly preserve and protect net neutrality principles for all.”</p>
