Marc Martin was quoted in “Following California Lawsuit, Net Neutrality Battle Comes to Vermont,” an article in Legaltech News*, regarding a lawsuit filed by a coalition of telecommunication associations in the in the U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont.

Marc Martin, said either suit brought by the ISPs has a chance of succeeding.

Vermont’s law has a narrow scope, Marc said, because it focuses on the government negotiating. “As a purchaser, they will basically insist on terms that the service isn’t restricted,” Marc said.

On the other hand, California’s law, he added, is more broad and applies to all consumers in California using the internet.

Marc noted that if the ISPs aren’t victorious in their current cases, they may change their strategy and go after other state laws they see as imposing net neutrality regulations.
