Net neutrality: Clock is ticking for those who want old rules back

The days are now truly numbered for the federal regulations that prevent Internet service providers from blocking, throttling or prioritizing content on their broadband networks.

And for the groups who want those Net-neutrality rules to stay, the race is on.

Two months ago, the Federal Communications Commission repealed rules that prevented Internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking or slowing legal content. In their place, the agency passed lighter rules that require cable and telecom companies to disclose any slowing as well as prioritization of their own content or that of their partners, with the idea that consumer pressure would force ISPs to play fair.
