"Court Blocks Net Neutrality, Says ISPs Are Likely to Win Case against FCC"


Net neutrality, the judges wrote, “is likely a major question requiring clear congressional authorization,” and the “Communications Act likely does not plainly authorize the Commission to resolve this signal question. Nowhere does Congress clearly grant the Commission the discretion to classify broadband providers as common carriers. To the contrary, Congress specifically empowered the Commission to define certain categories of communications services—and never did so with respect to broadband providers specifically or the Internet more generally.” . . .

Even if the FCC loses, each US state would be allowed to regulate net neutrality because the Trump-era FCC lost its attempt to preempt state laws.
