ADT filed a letter to urge the Federal Communications Commission to maintain core net neutrality protections for alarm providers, including preventing blocking or throttling and precluding anticompetitive prioritization schemes. ADT asserted the FCC has ancillary jurisdiction to adopt these specific net neutrality protections based on the FCC’s mandated responsibility in Section 275 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. ADT also claimed codification of the no blocking, no throttling and no anticompetitive prioritization of alarm data rules does not require the FCC to classify broadband providers under Title II, nor would it confer common carrier status.
