After serving Comcast with a 10-day notice of its intentions on Apr 18, NFL Net has filed with the FCC a complaint against the MSO’s "anti-consumer and anti-competitive" carriage practices.

It allows us to place this expensive channel on a tier of service for those who wish to pay for it, not on a tier where everyone must pay for it."
