# Chevron: Too Much Deference or Just Enough?

  August 15, 2016

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld the Federal Communications Commission’s 2015 Open Internet Order in June, it extensively applied Chevron deference in its decision. The controversial case has re-ignited the debate about whether Chevron provides too much deference to federal agencies, even as they are left applying aging statutes to new technologies and situations. In this podcast, communications partner [Hank Kelly](http://www.kelleydrye.com/attorneys/henry_kelly) and associate [Jennifer Holtz](http://www.kelleydrye.com/attorneys/jennifer_holtz) talk about the Chevron doctrine, its origins, and some key public policy considerations in light of the Open Internet decision. Listen to the episode [here](http://www.kelleydryefullspectrum.com/podcasts/2016/8/11/chevron-too-much-deference-or-just-enough).
