Community Broadband Act: Expanding Internet Access for Localities
This act aims to make it easier for local governments, public-private partnerships, and cooperatives to provide broadband internet services. This means more communities could gain access to high-speed internet, potentially improving education, remote work, and access to online services. The act prevents state-level prohibitions that might restrict such initiatives.
Key points
State and local governments, and cooperatives, can freely offer broadband internet services without state prohibitions.
The act ensures fair rules for public and private providers, preventing discrimination.
Increased competition and internet availability could lead to lower prices and better service for citizens.
