Ohio Telecom Association v. FCC, 150 F.4th 694 (6th Cir. 2025), was a ruling of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, holding that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) does not have the authority to classify broadband Internet service providers (ISPs) as "telecommunications services" that must adhere to network neutrality and common carrier principles, under the Communications Act of 1934. The ruling was the latest of several reversals and re-reversals of FCC decisions to enforce or not enforce network neutrality over the course of several successive presidential administrations.
