78 ¶ 399—must still be classified as a “private” mobile service, broadband users may no longer experience “the same Internet openness protections no matter what technology they use to access the Internet.” Id. at 5638 ¶ 92. C. Mobile petitioners also challenge the sufficiency of the Commission’s notice, particularly with respect to its redefinition of the public switched network as well as its removal of the word “all” from the definition of interconnected service.
