Prof. Lyons Returns: Preemption of State Net Neutrality Regulation After Mozilla

Fast on the heels of D.C. Circuit's October 1 decision upholding most of the Restoring Internet Freedom Order (2018), Professor Daniel Lyons has published "Conflict Preemption of State Net Neutrality Efforts After Mozilla." This Perspectives from FSF Scholars paper, published on October 4, is a follow-up to a paper he wrote on this topic earlier this year and which I highlighted in a prior blog post. In this new paper, Prof. Lyons gives a quick overview of the D.C. Circuit's decision and what the future holds regarding the FCC, its light-touch national policy framework for broadband services, and state net neutrality laws. Prof. Lyons is a Member of the Free State Foundation's Board of Academic Advisers.
