2nd Circuit Grants 1-Week Extension in N.Y. Affordable Broadband Case

ISP groups will have until June 14 to seek rehearing of a 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals decision that federal law doesn’t preempt a 2021 New York law requiring $15 monthly plans with 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload speeds for qualifying low-income households. On Friday, the appeals court granted the industry groups’ Thursday request for a one-week extension. The groups had told the court they needed more time to reach an agreement with New York state (see 2406060038).
