The U.S. Supreme Court has dismissed a plea to regulate internet prices, affirming that the market operates freely. The decision follows a previous rejection of a similar case in December and specifically addresses a New York state law that caps the price of basic broadband service plans for low-income households. The ruling is seen as a significant victory for internet service providers, allowing them to maintain current pricing structures without state-imposed regulations. The court's stance reflects a broader trend as several states, including California, Vermont, and Massachusetts, consider similar legislation aimed at broadband affordability.
