Communications Daily quoted Pantelis Michalopoulos in an article titled "High Court Nominee Kavanaugh Seen Complicating FCC Regulation; Battle Lines Form."

"It's not a one-way street. A deregulatory rule is no less a rule, which means the [2017] restoring internet freedom rule could encounter an obstacle under Judge Kavanaugh's formulation." Yet Kavanaugh also wrote in USTelecom the best statutory read is that broadband should be classified under Title I, as the current FCC did in rolling back net neutrality regulation.
