April 7 (Bloomberg) -- Google Inc., Skype Technologies SA and companies that have pressed for free flow of Internet traffic suffered a setback when a court ruling undermined the governments role in overseeing the Web.


In a decision yesterday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the Federal Communications Commission didnt have authority to regulate Internet management practices by Comcast Corp., the largest U.S. cable company.


Backed by companies including Google, FCC officials have pushed for rules that bar network owners such as Comcast and AT&T Inc. from limiting Web traffic. Regulators now will have to redouble efforts to assert control over the Internet, said Christopher Libertelli, director of North America government and regulatory affairs for Skype, a provider of calling via the Web.


Were trying to set up a framework so that the government has the tools to intervene should they find conduct that harms consumers, Libertelli said. The decision puts the Internet, a critical part of American business, into a no-mans land.


Comcasts victory may intensify debate over the role network owners can play in managing information flow over the Web. Companies such as Comcast have said regulators shouldnt burden them with more rules and that competition will ensure an open Internet. Advocates of so-called net neutrality, including Google, Skype and Amazon.com Inc., say Web service providers cant be left to favor some kinds of traffic over others.
