FCC loses Comcast’s court challenge, a major setback
\nfor agency on Internet policies<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Comcast <\/strong>on Tuesday won a legal challenge against the Federal Communications Commission, in a ruling by a federal court that undermines the agency’s ability to regulate Internet service providers.<\/p>\n
