The Biden administration’s resurrection of broadband “net neutrality” rules is halted in the courts, for now. A three-judge panel of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals recently agreed to stop the regulations from going into effect while challenges from broadband providers are litigated, signaling that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed.

In the latest chapter of a long and highly public battle over net neutrality, the Federal Communications Commission voted in April of this year along party lines, with three Democratic commissioners in support and two Republicans opposed, to reclassify internet service providers as “common carrier telecommunications services” under Title II of the 1996 Telecommunications Act instead of as “information services” that fall under Title I of the law.
