FCC Refuses to Stay Net Neutrality Rules, Setting Up Court Battle
The FCC also filed a motion to move the case from the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati to the D.C. Circuit in Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 7, 2024 – The Federal Communications Commission on Friday refused to suspend its Net Neutrality rules while pending judicial review, a setback for Internet Service Providers that claimed the rules violated the law and inflicted serious financial harm.
Without a judicial stay, the FCC rules adopted under Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel are scheduled to take effect on July 22, 2024. Among other things, the rules generally bar ISPs from blocking and throttling lawful content or accepting payment for prioritizing content.
