Verizon on Thursday said it would appeal the FCC's net neutrality rules in an attempt to force deregulation. Company deputy general counsel Michael Glover largely echoed the views of Republican FCC commissioners Baker and McDowell and hoped to spread fear and doubt surrounding the reach of the rules, which would prevent app blocking on all Internet access as well as service-specific throttling. It disagreed with the FCC's cited precedents and insisted that the rules were too broad.
