WASHINGTON, June 3, 2024 – Major broadband trade groups are looking for the Federal Communications Commission to rule on their request to pause the agency’s net neutrality rules by June 7 – the deadline by which some of the same trade groups have to decide whether to further challenge a New York state affordability law.

Industry groups are taking the FCC to court over its move to strengthen its regulatory muscle by reclassifying broadband as a Title II service under the Communications Act, which the groups say the agency lacks authority to do under recent Supreme Court precedent. The groups filed on Friday a petition asking the agency to stay its net neutrality order, set to take effect July 22, to give the courts time to decide on a judicial stay.
