Comcast v. FCC

Comcast v. FCC was a 2010 Supreme Court case where Comcast challenged an FCC regulation that aimed to prevent internet service providers from blocking or impairing lawful internet traffic. Comcast argued the FCC lacked authority to impose such rules. The Supreme Court ruled that the FCC's specific regulation was illegal because the FCC had not properly justified its authority to regulate internet management practices. The decision clarified limitations on the FCC’s ability to enforce net neutrality rules, emphasizing that agency actions require clear legal authority and proper procedures.
