The article discusses the impact of deregulation on broadband ISPs following the repeal of net neutrality rules. Gigi Sohn of the American Association for Public Broadband emphasizes the need for federal oversight while noting AT&T's limited exit from New York. Although AT&T has withdrawn a specific internet service, its departure isn't indicative of a broader trend as they continue to provide mobile services. The article also reflects on the historical legislative battles over broadband regulations in New York and the involvement of various lobby groups in these disputes.
Sohn called on ISPs to join with consumer advocates to support a federal law guaranteeing "limited but meaningful oversight over broadband..."
The lobby groups that tried to overturn the state law are the New York State Telecommunications Association, CTIA, and USTelecom among others.
