Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), the trade association that has represented the wireless industry since 1984 has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) new net neutrality rules.
According to the Verge, a group wrote in a blog that it intends to push back against the FCC's decision to impose new net neutrality rules and "reclassifying mobile broadband as a common carrier utility".
The National Cable and Telecommunications Association, the American Cable Association, and ATandT have also filed similar lawsuits on these grounds.

The CTIA framed the argument as big government bureaucrats versus innovative companies and their consumers.
