But what is the recourse if IAPs in the 9th district ignore the decision and continue to divulge subscriber information?

I assume subscribers must sue the IAP.

Contact your state attorney general is also an option.

I don't think there is any law in the US that ISPs can't give away or sell your data if they want to.

Several states have privacy laws limiting or requiring disclosure of how their data is used.

If I understand correctly the FTC only prevents companies from selling your data when they've told you they won't.

Would have to read thru Tittle II of the communications act and see what portions they are under. Title I is POTs and Title II is ISPs and Cellphone providers. Title I tends to be much more strict.
