Summary

Stanford Law Professor Barbara van Schewick said today’s ruling provides states with important protections in the event that the FCC ever deregulates broadband again. “Today’s decision means that if a future FCC again decided to abdicate its oversight over broadband like it did in 2017, the states have strong legal precedent, across circuits, to institute their own protections or re-activate dormant ones,” she said.
