The U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday asked a federal judge to block California’s net neutrality law, arguing that federal law preempts the state statute.

The California attorney general’s office said it is reviewing the Justice Department’s filing “and look forward to defending California’s state net neutrality protections.”
A decision on the Justice Department action is not expected before mid-October, according to a court schedule.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai said he plans to leave the commission on Jan. 20, 2021. This opens the door to President-elect Joe Biden to select a new head of the telecommunications regulator.

While best known for wrecking network neutrality, in his resignation letter Pai largely ignored that issue. His only comment relating to it was "this FCC has not shied away from making tough choices. As a result, our nation's communications networks are now faster, stronger, and more widely deployed than ever before."
Few would agree with his rosy view.

Under Biden and a new FCC chair, net neutrality will return and both consumer and business users will get better, more fairly priced, and more broadly distributed internet. In these days when we need fast internet from the smallest home to the largest business, net neutrality is more important than ever.
