Telecom Giants Challenge FCC's Reinstatement of Net Neutrality Rules

Legal battles intensify as industry groups seek to block regulations set to take effect on July 22, citing overreach and potential economic impact.

  • FCC voted in April to reinstate 2015 net neutrality rules, reversing Trump-era deregulation.
  • Industry groups argue FCC lacks authority and claim new rules are more invasive than before.
  • Lawsuits filed in multiple circuit courts could lead to a Supreme Court decision.
  • FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel defends the rules, stating they do not include rate regulation.
  • A dozen states have maintained their own net neutrality laws since the 2017 federal repeal.
