FCC主席汤姆•惠勒（tomwheeler）重申，在本周的法庭败诉后，他不会放弃争取网络中立的努力，尽管他还没有阐明这到底意味着什么。惠勒在少数族裔媒体和电信委员会的一次演讲中说，他将“接受”大卫·塔特尔法官在其裁决中提出的邀请，秉承在Verizon起诉后被驳回的互联网开放秩序的原则。

The court invited the commission to act, and I intend to accept that invitation. Using our authority, we will readdress the concepts in the Open Internet Order as the court invited to encourage growth and innovation and enforce against abuse.

We've noted with great interest the expressi*** from many internet service providers to the effect that they will continue to honor the Open Internet Order's concepts even though they may have been remanded to the commission. That's the right and resp***ible thing to do, and we take them up on their commitment. At the same time, we accept the court's invitation to revisit the structure of the rules that it vacated.

The great revolution in the internet is how it empowers individuals to both c***ume and create. It's the kind of opportunity that we're discussing here this morning. And to do so requires an accessible and open internet, and we will fight to preserve that capability.

Tatel法官推翻了FCC禁止屏蔽或歧视内容的规定，称该机构试图执行一项不适用于ISP的政策。但他也认为，联邦通信委员会确实有权根据其使用的规则（第706条）对运营商进行监管，即使这一权力没有达到它想要的程度。不过，我们认为网络中立的框架，可能需要在政治上冒险的举措，将宽带互联网重新归类为电信运营商。

惠勒会继续吗？据capital hill的一名高级工作人员说，他的办公室表示，将根据**根据第706条授予的权力，而不是立即尝试重新分类。在周三的一篇博客文章中，惠勒承诺将“采用任何必要的手段”推动开放的互联网框架向前发展：“司法管辖权的存在是没有争议的。”然而，司法管辖权能否不经斗争而建立，却是一个更为悬而未决的问题。
