A federal appeals court largely upholds the FCC's controversial repeal of its net neutrality rules for internet providers, but provides a path for states to push back
San Francisco A federal appeals court has largely upheld the Federal Communications Commission's controversial repeal of its net neutrality rules for internet providers, finding the agency didn't overreach when it decided in 2018 to deregulate companies such as Comcast and Verizon .
The decision marks a victory for the Republican-led commission in light of opposition by consumer groups, tech companies and local government officials who had sued the agency in a years-long battle over the future of the open internet. But there is an important caveat: The court struck down a key aspect of the agency's order that could lead to further battles at the state level.
