FCC Continues Deregulatory Efforts to Remove Unnecessary Rules

The Federal Communications Commission announced its latest effort to remove rules and regulations as part of its “Delete, Delete, Delete” initiative. This action makes the following deletions:

• Removing irrelevant and burdensome restrictions on broadband providers that were adopted under the Biden Administration in its “Restore Net Neutrality” proceeding, but never went into effect and were struck down by the Sixth Circuit in early 2025.
• Removing defunct and prescriptive interconnection rules that were vacated by the Eighth Circuit 25 years ago but never removed from the Code of Federal Regulations.
