FBA Official Statement on Sixth Circuit Decision on Net Neutrality (1/2/25)

“The Sixth Circuit’s decision to strike down the FCC’s latest attempt to adopt Title II Open Internet rules reinforces a light-touch regulatory approach to broadband, recognizing it as an ‘information service.’ Fiber networks are the backbone of our nation’s digital economy, enabling transformative connectivity for communities, businesses, and institutions. A regulatory framework that avoids undue burdens ensures the rapid expansion of these networks to underserved areas, closing the digital divide and fostering a competitive broadband marketplace.

The Fiber Broadband Association remains committed to promoting policies that accelerate fiber deployment, delivering the economic and societal benefits only fiber can provide while maintaining an open and dynamic internet ecosystem.”

–Gary Bolton, President & CEO, Fiber Broadband Association
