DC appeals courts have been asked by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to keep aside the cases meted on them by Verizon and MetroPCS where they have filed against Open Internet rules.

The first lawsuit was filed by Verizon on January 20 where it had argued that FCC's step will be good only if and when it stays in its authority circle. If that does not happen then that would create uncertainty in communications industry, innovators, investors and consumers.

In response to that, the government through its FCC has given a very technical answer. It said that even before it came out with its neutrality order, both the companies had filed cases against it. Such a move has made the move of the FCC live and official.

The FCC also said that the steps taken by Verizon and MetroPCS are faulty and dismissive in nature and that the cases should be immediately dismissed.

Meanwhile, telecom company MetroPCS has in its filed said that the net neutrality rules brought forward by the commission is totally against the carrier's licenses. It would later on lead to disputes.
