MetroPCS Files Complaint Against FCC Over Net Neutrality Rules

MetroPCS logoMetroPCS 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.
