ABSTRACT The FCC’s Restoring Internet Freedom Order reclassified mobile broadband service from a commercial mobile radio service to a private mobile radio service, thereby eliminating common carrier regulation of the service. The reclassification is an incredible assertion: that the most important public mobile service of our time is classified under statute as a private mobile service. We analyze the relevant precedent from the 1940s through 2017. We find that the Order’s lack of consideration of the relevant precedent and technology undermines its interpretation of the statute on which it relies. The Order’s reversion to the 1994 definitions of public switched network and interconnected service ignores the growth of the public switched network to include the Internet. The Order’s conclusion that the public switched telephone network and the Internet are separate non-interconnected networks is factually wrong. Critically, when interpreting interconnection, the Order ignores the fact that in order for meaningful communication to occur, the users’ devices and subscribed services must be compatible. A proper interpretation of relevant statute and precedent leads to the opposite conclusion of the Order, that mobile broadband service is a commercial mobile service. This finding lays the foundation for reinstatement of net neutrality protections on mobile broadband service.

移动宽带互联网接入服务是商业移动服务，因此必须作为公共运营商服务进行监管

摘要 美国联邦通信委员会的恢复互联网自由令将移动宽带服务从商业移动无线电服务重新分类为私人移动无线电服务，从而取消了对该服务的公共运营商监管。重新分类是一个令人难以置信的断言：我们这个时代最重要的公共移动服务根据法规被归类为私人移动服务。我们分析了 1940 年代到 2017 年的相关先例。我们发现该命令对相关先例和技术的缺乏考虑破坏了其对其所依赖的法规的解释。该命令恢复到 1994 年公共交换网络和互连服务的定义，忽略了公共交换网络的增长，包括互联网。该命令关于公共交换电话网络和互联网是独立的非互连网络的结论在事实上是错误的。至关重要的是，在解释互连时，该命令忽略了这样一个事实，即为了进行有意义的通信，用户的设备和订阅的服务必须兼容。对相关法规和先例的正确解释会导致该命令的相反结论，即移动宽带服务是一种商业移动服务。这一发现为恢复移动宽带服务的网络中立性保护奠定了基础。用户的设备和订阅的服务必须兼容。对相关法规和先例的正确解释会导致该命令的相反结论，即移动宽带服务是一种商业移动服务。这一发现为恢复移动宽带服务的网络中立性保护奠定了基础。用户的设备和订阅的服务必须兼容。对相关法规和先例的正确解释会导致该命令的相反结论，即移动宽带服务是一种商业移动服务。这一发现为恢复移动宽带服务的网络中立性保护奠定了基础。
