@haroldfeld @californiapuc Here's a report on and link to the California AG's brief in support of California's net neutrality law. The AG is relatively silent about this and the many other exercises of state police power in re broadband, e.g., CPUC, Cal Office of Emergency Services https://www.tellusventure.com/blog/no-power-to-regulate-broadband-means-the-fcc-has-no-power-to-preempt-californias-net-neutrality-law/
