Attorneys general in 21 states across the USA have filed a petitionwith a federal appeals court in Washington, challenging the decision taken by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reverse the 2015 pro net neutrality order. The petition, signed by attorneys general in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and the District of Columbia, describes the FCC's decision as 'arbitrary, capricious and an abuse of discretion'.
