Community Broadband Act: Expanding Internet Access Options
This act aims to make it easier for local governments, public-private partnerships, and cooperatives to provide internet services. This means more options for high-speed internet access could become available, especially in areas currently underserved. The act also includes rules to prevent these new providers from unfairly favoring their own services over competitors.
Key points
Local governments and cooperatives can more easily offer internet services.
Increased competition among internet providers may lead to better services and lower prices.
Ensures new providers do not discriminate against competing services.
