Anti-Digital Redlining Act: Ensuring Fair Internet Access for All
This act aims to ensure equal access to fast and reliable internet for all Americans, regardless of income or location. It prohibits practices that lead to lower quality internet services in lower-income and minority communities and facilitates competition among internet providers in multi-dwelling units. As a result, citizens can expect better and more affordable internet services, improving access to employment, education, and healthcare.
Key points
Prohibition of internet access discrimination: Providers cannot offer inferior services based on residents' income or race.
Increased competition in multi-dwelling units: Exclusive agreements between internet providers and building owners are banned, meaning more options and better prices for residents.
Public complaint system: Citizens can file complaints with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding internet access issues.
Penalties for providers: Providers failing to deliver adequate services may be compelled to improve or return federal funds.
