WASHINGTON, Dec. 9, 2025 – AT&T is asking the Supreme Court to resolve a split between circuit courts of appeal and find that the Federal Communications Commission’s process for issuing fines is unconstitutional.

Verizon has already asked justices to do the same, while the FCC has asked the high court to uphold its forfeiture process. Justices haven’t yet agreed to take the case, but a 2-1 circuit split on the issue makes Supreme Court review likely.

AT&T said in a Friday brief that justices should grant both the FCC and Verizon’s requests and combine the cases.
