The Sixth Circuit US Court of Appeals ruled that the FCC lacks the statutory authority to implement net neutrality rules, marking a significant legal setback for federal regulation efforts.
The recent reinterpretation of the Chevron doctrine means that judicial interpretation now varies by individual judge, undermining the FCC's previous regulatory authority over ISPs.
As a result of this ruling, the FCC's efforts to restore net neutrality at the federal level face substantial hurdles, requiring potential Congressional action or a successful Supreme Court appeal.
Although net neutrality rules will continue in certain states, the Sixth Circuit's decision limits the FCC's power to enforce similar regulations nationwide.
