Federal Communications Commission.” The case involved a 2008 “cease and desist” order from the commission towards Comcast over the slowing down of information sent from the peer-to-peer file-sharing service BitTorrent. The panel of three judges unanimously decided the FCC did not have explicit authority to regulate how Internet service providers handle traffic over their networks.
The decision overturned efforts by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to mandate “net neutrality,” the principle that all Internet content should be treated equally by network service providers. The decision also has implications on the potential for the FCC to reclassify broadband providers and for the FCC’s recently released Broadband Plan.
