The Supreme Court just upheld an FCC subsidy for low-cost telephone and internet services in libraries and schools.

“…does not violate the nondelegation doctrine.”

Amy Howe writes:

This was the challenge to the federal program that subsidized low-cost telephone and internet services in, for example, rural areas and for libraries and schools.

It holds that neither Congress’s delegation of power to the FCC or the FCC’s delegation of power to the private corporation violated a theory known as the nondelegation doctrine.

In other words, the subsidy stands.

Justices Gorsuch, Alito and Thomas dissent.
