Analyst: Sixth Circuit Should Hit Pause on Net Neutrality Case

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18, 2024 – A Boston College law professor has an opinion for the federal court handling the challenge to federal internet rules: Do nothing.

Professor Daniel Lyons, in a Nov. 8 opinion with the Washington, D.C., based American Enterprise Institute, asserted that Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s new administration could signal to the Sixth Circuit that new Net Neutrality rules are on the way.

“The Sixth Circuit has no deadline for deciding the case, meaning it could hold the decision until the incoming administration clarifies its position. This might be the prudential choice,” Lyons said.
