The California advocacy groups said in the lawsuit that the order violated both the Constitution and the Communications Act of 1934. “The Order exceeds the Commission’s statutory authority [and] is arbitrary and capricious and an abuse of discretion,” they argued.

The Utility Reform Network, Rural County Representatives of California and Communications Workers of America challenged the FCC’s copper retirement order in a lawsuit filed last week in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
