National Cable & Telecommunications Ass'n v. Brand X Internet Services

Index National Cable & Telecommunications Ass'n v. Brand X Internet Services

National Cable & Telecommunications Association v. Brand X Internet Services,, is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared in a 6–3 decision that the administrative law principle of ''Chevron'' deference to statutory interpretations by administrative agencies tasked with executing the statute trumped the precedents of the United States Courts of Appeals unless the Court of Appeals had held that the statute was "unambiguous" under Chevron. The Supreme Court therefore upheld the Federal Communications Commission's determination that a cable Internet provider is an "information service", and not a "telecommunications service" and as such competing internet service providers (ISPs) like Brand X Internet were denied access to the cable and phone wires to provide home users with competing internet service.
