DOJ's lawsuit may delay California's new net neutrality law

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law Sunday that prohibits internet service providers from blocking or slowing data based on content or from favoring websites or video streams from companies that pay extra. It also bans "zero rating," in which internet providers don't count certain content against a monthly data cap—generally video streams produced by the company's own subsidiaries and partners.
