In a unanimous decision, the Sixth Circuit overturned the FCC’s 2024 Open Internet Order.

The 2024 Open Internet Order reclassified broadband internet access as a Title II telecommunications service. The Sixth Circuit found that the best reading of the Communications Act under Loper Bright is that broadband is a Title I information service.

Chairwoman Rosenworcel issued a statement calling upon Congress to act on putting “open internet principles in federal law.”

Commissioner Carr issued a statement welcoming the decision.
