Appeals Court Temporarily Halts FCC's Net Neutrality Rules
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals delays the enforcement of net neutrality regulations, seeking further briefs on legal precedents.
- Net neutrality rules, reinstated by the FCC in April, are paused until at least August 5.
- The court's decision follows the Supreme Court's recent ruling limiting federal regulatory power.
- Telecom industry argues that the FCC's reclassification of broadband lacks legal support post-Chevron.
- The FCC's motion to transfer the case to a more favorable court was denied.
- Both parties must submit additional briefs on the impact of the Brand X precedent.
