WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. appeals on Friday said it was temporarily putting the Federal Communications Commission’s reinstatement of landmark net neutrality rules on hold until Aug. 5 as it considers industry legal challenges.
The FCC voted in April along party lines to reassume regulatory oversight of broadband internet and reinstate open internet rules adopted in 2015 that were rescinded under then-President Donald Trump. Those rules were set to take effect on July 22 until the order from the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
