In the case of Federal Communications Commission v. Pottsville Broadcasting Co., the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the FCC, affirming its authority to regulate radio frequencies and licenses. The dispute arose when Pottsville Broadcasting Company's license for a specific frequency was revoked by the FCC due to public interest considerations and given to another company. Pottsville argued that this action exceeded the powers granted to FCC under Communications Act of 1934. However, Justice Frankfurter writing for majority held that while Congress did not explicitly grant such power in statute, it could be reasonably inferred from overall regulatory scheme established by law. Furthermore, he noted that courts should defer to administrative agencies' expertise when interpreting ambiguous statutes related with their field - a principle now known as Chevron Deference.

In the dissenting opinion for the Federal Communications Commission v. Pottsville Broadcasting Co., Justice Frankfurter argued that the majority's decision to uphold FCC's revocation of Pottsville’s broadcasting license was an overreach of administrative power. He contended that while Congress had given broad powers to FCC, it did not intend for such a sweeping interpretation where procedural fairness is compromised. The justice believed that by denying Pottsville a hearing before revoking its license, FCC violated due process rights and principles of natural justice. Furthermore, he criticized the majority's reliance on technicalities in interpreting legislative intent rather than considering broader policy implications and individual rights at stake.
