Most of the people fighting against the FCC are the people within the government, such as New York's Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, believes in a free, open internet because this is all part of maintaining a democracy. People are fighting against this. If the revocation were to go into effect, it would permit the internet service providers to obstruct specific content, charge consumers more to access individual sites, and slow down the quality of content providers that do not pay more.
These lawsuits will begin to model the structure of how we obtain, pay for and view content online. The outcome of this is heavily dependent upon the result of upcoming elections. This is an issue which jeopardizes free speech, and it is a major hot button issue in our society.
The US citizens are actually rising up against what the FCC is stating. They have noticed, however, that no matter what they say, they will not be heard by the government agency. Even if they sign up the petition and they let the whole world know that they are aware of their rights, nothing good may come out of it because the FCC is in total control of the decisions that they will make.
They will do what they want to do regardless of whether the US citizens will stand up for what they believe in or not. The FCC also believes that people can be protected even without net neutrality. If this is true, people are just bound to find out soon.
