NEW YORK (AP) — The FCC says the first lawsuits filed against the government’s new Internet traffic rules are “premature” and may be dismissed because they were filed too early. The Federal Communications Commission’s new rules on broadband service are meant to uphold “net neutrality,” and so prohibit providers such as Comcast and Verizon from slowing or blocking Web traffic and from charging companies such as Netflix for special, faster access to customers. The FCC is toughening its oversight of Internet providers by classifying the Internet as a “telecommunications service” rather than an “information service.”
