Net Neutrality Survives D.C. Circuit Challenge: U.S. Telecom Association v. FCC

Telecommunications & Electronic Media Practice Group Teleforum

On Wednesday, June 14, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Federal Communications Commission’s controversial reclassification of broadband internet service as a telecommunications service subject to common carrier regulation under Title II of the Communications Act. The case, which many observers believe may ultimately end up before the United States Supreme Court, touches on major questions about the Communications Act, as well as First Amendment issues and larger administrative law controversies, including Chevron deference. Our experts will discuss all of these angles and the outlook for the case going forward.

• Brett A. Shumate, Partner, Wiley Rein LLP
