Supreme Court/ broadband cable service

In a suprise move Friday, the Supreme Court announced it would review a key telecommunications case that could decide whether broadband service should be a largely unregulated information service or as a telephone-like telecommunications service that can be forced to make lines available to competitors.
The Court held its regular private conference Friday to discuss cases, but no announcement is expected at least until today. The case, FCC v. Brand X Internet Services, is from the 9th. Circuit Court of Appeals.
