Did the Supreme Court save school bus Wi-Fi? The FCC and SHLB say yes.
In their June 18th NRC v. Texas ruling, the Supremes narrowed the criteria to challenge an agency order. The FCC and SHLB argue that given the newly narrowed criteria, the group bring the suit (Molak v. FCC, claiming the FCC did not have the authority to make school bus Wi-Fi eligible) do not have standing, so the case should be tossed.
Don't get too relieved, though: the same senators who are trying to toss home hotspots out of the E-Rate also want to throw out school bus Wi-Fi. I don't think they've introduced a kill-bus-Wi-Fi bill yet, but if this suit fails, they're likely to.
