I'm not really an administrative law guy, so I can't really comment on the legal, technical aspects of the ruling, but here's some reaction from around the web:
- Above The Law makes its opinion pretty clear in the headline: "D.C. Circuit Quietly Ruins the Internet for Everybody."
- In contrast, Techdirt says "Court Tells FCC It Has No Mandate To Enforce Net Neutrality (And That's A Good Thing)"
- Our good friends at The Economist look at some of the potential downstream problems (hello, rent-seeking): "Hey internet entrepreneurs, nuts to you"
- Looking at the specific legal reasoning involved in the decision, Susan Crawford says that "'Ancillary jurisdiction' has to be ancillary to something," and Cyberlawcases.com looks at the options that FCC has in the wake of the decision.
- Some further analysis from Law.com looks at the wide array of opinions about what exactly the decision means for net neutrality and the FCC.
- And, of course, here's the decision itself.
