The 11th Circuit (where Broward County is located) did rule recently that cable internet service is a "telecommunications service" and not a "cable service" and hence is in line with the Ninth Circuit. The only other cases were Judge Panner's ruling in Portland which was just over-ruled and the distrcit Court decision in Henrico, Virginia in which the judge ruled cable internet service to be a "cable service" but ruled that local regulation of such services was pre-empted by the Cable Act. Who cares if they appeal as Portland never had a legal leg to stand on. Judge Panner's decision was one of the worse I had ever read. They probably will ask for an en banc hearing before the Ninth Circuit and then Supreme Court review because the Opennet crowd has nothing else to do in life.
