WASHINGTON: A US federal appeals court said on Jan 17 it would not delay oral arguments set for Feb 1 on the Trump administration's decision to repeal the 2015 landmark net neutrality rules governing internet providers.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Jan 15 asked the court to delay the arguments over its December 2017 repeal, citing the partial government shutdown. Without comment, the court denied the request.
