Federal Court Halts FCC's Net Neutrality Reinstatement

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals blocks the FCC's net neutrality rules, citing likely success of broadband providers' legal challenge.

The FCC voted in April to restore net neutrality rules from 2015, rescinded under the Trump administration.
Broadband providers argue the rules would impose prohibitive costs and hinder innovation.
The court's stay extends an earlier temporary hold, with oral arguments scheduled for late October or early November.
Net neutrality rules prevent ISPs from blocking, throttling, or prioritizing internet traffic.
FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel pledges to continue fighting for an open and fair internet.
