The court declared that the FCC cannot prevent states from enacting their own open internet laws or regulations. There are now nine states that have rules protecting net neutrality, six of which have done it by executive order. There are four states that have passed laws and another 27 considering legislation. On top of that, more than 125 mayors around the country have signed net neutrality pledges that they won't do business with ISPs that violate net neutrality standards. The court also ordered the FCC to rework the repeal to ensure that net neutrality rules applied for first responders and public safety agencies, as well as ensuring that low-income communities have access.
