This case prompted the formation of NIA, which supports the plaintiff
(and NIA member), Brand-X Internet Services. If the Supreme Court refuses
to hear the case on appeal, or decides in
Brand-X's favor, all US ISPs and consumers stand to share in the
promise of true consumer choice for high speed internet
service. While the case only addresses cable modem internet service, the
ultimate ruling will likely impact other broadband delivery platforms--we
hope by opening them to competition as promised under the Telecom Act of
1996.
