Supreme Court to Review Major Cases Involving FCC Subsidies and Federal Agency Power

The Supreme Court is gearing up to tackle significant legal challenges concerning the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) $8 billion subsidy fund, which aims to support broadband and phone services for low-income Americans. As the court prepares to examine the legality of this fund, it will also address broader questions regarding the authority of federal agencies and whether Congress has overstepped by delegating power to the FCC. This includes scrutiny of the Universal Service Fund and its constitutionality, as well as a fresh challenge to the nondelegation doctrine. The outcomes of these cases could have substantial implications for federal regulatory power and the future of telecommunications subsidies.
