WASHINGTON, June 25, 2024 – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce joined broadband providers in asking the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals not to move the net neutrality challenge to the D.C. Circuit.

In Re: MCP

Earlier this month, ISPs sued in multiple venues to block the reinstated Federal Communications Commission rules and a lottery system put the case before the Sixth Circuit. The FCC on Friday again asked the court to move the case to the D.C. Circuit, arguing that court is better suited because it served as the venue for four previous cases related to the agency’s classification of broadband under the Communications Act.
