Congress simply needs to pass a law giving FCC that power. BTW before I get blasted I am 100% pro-net neutrality.
However the FCC is limited in the scope of regulations it can pass. The judge isn't saying that scope can't be increased rather that under current legislation it hasn't.
I am not sure but I think scope could be expanded via Presidential Executive Order but then again EO are kinda gray area so I am not sure.
Bottom line the ruling simply says FCC currently lacks the scope for this kind of action it doesn't say FCC can't be granted that scope in the future.
