California wants Net Neutrality back, while the Feds do not.

California wants Net Neutrality back, while the Feds do not.

New law to require Net Neutrality signed in CA, Federal Government immediate moves to over turn it.

Obama was in favor, and not surprising, Trump reversed the policy, so CA is not a new requirement, but a return to the previous way it was. I do not understand Fed argument that CA law is unconstitutional, since in general, States can have stricter requirement than Federal laws in many areas.
