Court blocks net neutrality, says ISPs are likely to win case against FCC


It's not over, but three judges said ISPs "are likely to succeed on the merits."

The 6th Circuit panel found that broadband providers "are likely to succeed on the merits because the final rule implicates a major question, and the Commission has failed to satisfy the high bar for imposing such regulations." The case goes to a different set of judges, which means that it may get a fresh look," Andrew Jay Schwartzman, senior counselor for the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society, told Ars today. Schwartzman, who is involved in the 6th Circuit case on the pro-net neutrality side, told Ars that there are "some factual mistakes in the stay order; once they are properly explained, the merits panel might see things differently."
