Net Neutrality Oral Argument Will Go on as Planned on Feb. 1

That the FCC lacks funding wasn't sufficient cause for the court overseeing challenges to the agency's rollback of common-carrier net neutrality rules to delay oral argument. "These cases remained scheduled for oral argument on February 1, 2019," said a U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit order filed Thursday.

"Upon consideration of the motion to postpone oral argument in light of the lapse of appropriations" and of the opposition to that, the FCC motion was denied.

The case is Mozilla v. FCC, No. 18-1051.

Mozilla and the FCC didn't comment immediately.
