NCTA v. Brand X

Citation: National Cable & Telecommunications Ass'n v. Brand X Internet Services, 545 U.S. 967 (2005).

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) 2002 ruling that the provision of cable modem service (i.e., cable television broadband Internet) is an interstate information service and is therefore subject to the less stringent regulatory regime under Title I of the Communications Act of 1934.
