Cable groups not coordinating on potential Net Neutrality rule lawsuit

The Federal Communications Commission might be facing a series of separate lawsuits over its new net neutrality regulations, rather than one major legal action. Matt Polka, the head of the American Cable Association -- which represents small and medium-sized cable -- said that “literally all of our options are on the table" in response to the rules, but said that he was not coordinating with others who are also eyeing a lawsuit. “Litigation is a potential strategy for us,” he said. However, "we’re looking at these issues on our own,” he said. “We’re not working in concert with any other groups.” In addition to the American Cable Association, the National Cable and Telecommunications Association -- the industry’s major lobbying group -- appears to be also actively eyeing a lawsuit.
