Small ISPs like Brand X hoped that common carrier treatment would open up Internet services to wider competition, benefiting the public with lower prices and better services. A petition was made by Brand X and others to review the FCC's order in 2003. The FCC's ruling that cable internet service was not a "cable service" was affirmed, but the ruling that it was strictly an "information service" was vacated by the three judge panel, citing the Circuit's June, 2000 decision in "AT&T v. City of Portland" and the case was remanded for further action.
