The court's decision applies to all Internet and broadband service
providers, except for one: Comcast. As part of conditions it agreed to
when it purchased NBCUniversal, Comcast said it would abide by the FCC's
Open Internet rules for seven years, even if the rules were modified by
the courts.
"Comcast has consistently supported the Commission's Open Internet
Order as an appropriate balance of protection of consumer interests
while not interfering with companies' network management and engineering
decisions," Comcast's executive vice president, David Cohen, said in a
statement. "We remain comfortable with that commitment because we have
not -- and will not -- block our customers' ability to access lawful
Internet content, applications, or services. Comcast's customers want an
open and vibrant Internet, and we are absolutely committed to deliver
that experience."
Cohen went on to say that his company plans to work with FCC Chairman Wheeler and the rest of the FCC to find "an appropriate regulatory balance going forward that will continue to allow the Internet to flourish
