MetroPCS has filed a complaint against the FCC regarding its recently announced net neutrality rules and is seeking to avoid those rules from becoming law. CEO Roger Linquist issued the following statement:
“MetroPCS’ concerns regarding the jurisdictional basis for the net neutrality rules, the recent appeal filed by Verizon, and challenges raised by some proponents of net neutrality to MetroPCS’ recent 4G rate plans, have caused Metro PCS to appeal the FCC’s net neutrality order to ensure that the concerns of competitive wireless carriers, like MetroPCS, are addressed.”
The MetroPCS complaint comes on the heels of other complaints made by Verizon and consumer protection groups in the past few weeks.

These carriers challenging the FCC net neutrality are so full of crap. It’s all a sham.
Verizon writes the rules and then protests them? Metro PCS immediately takes advantage of the rules and then protests them?
It’s all a smokescreen. They will come with a weak case, the rules will stand, the government will sell it as a win for consumers because the carriers tried to fight it and lost, and joe public will be none the wiser.
Meanwhile, net neutrality will be officially abolished for wireless internet (which just happens to be where all the advancement is, and even the FCC’s nationwide broadband was based on wireless internet being rolled out nationwide).
