The FCC’s net neutrality rule has been put on hold by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled the attempt to challenge it would likely succeed on the merits.
Net neutrality is officially on hold after the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the rule from taking effect. The court granted a stay, extending an earlier temporary pause. This time, net neutrality will be blocked until the court says otherwise after reviewing the petitions from broadband providers who opposed the rule. Those internet service providers successfully showed they would likely succeed on the merits of their challenge, the panel of judges wrote.
For example, they say the classification could be used to impose price regulations, though the FCC has said it’s not planning on it. While restoring net neutrality was always going to be contentious, its fate looked even bleaker after the Supreme Court gutted Chevron deference, a legal standard where courts deferred to expert agencies in many cases about regulation.
