NCTA has called that reclassification a disaster that will stifle investment and could lead to rate regulation through the back door of case-by-case reviews.

The rules were approved Feb. 26 and published Monday, April 13, in the Federal Register, triggering a 10-day window for suits that want to be in a lottery to choose the appeals court hearing the case—if suits are filed in more than one court.
