The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in FCC v. AT&T, Inc. to uphold the FCC's authority to issue forfeiture orders against Verizon and AT&T for illegally sharing customer location data, while simultaneously limiting the agency's collection power by declaring those orders non-binding. The decision arrives at a pivotal moment for federal telecom regulation, as the post-Loper Bright legal landscape has already seen courts strip the FCC of net neutrality authority and consumer advocacy groups warn that 83 million Americans with only one broadband provider face higher prices without federal oversight.
