U.S. Chamber of Commerce Criticizes New FCC Rule for Broadband Management

Washington, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently finalized a rulemaking that has drawn criticism from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Neil Bradley, the Chamber’s Executive Vice President and Chief Policy Officer, expressed concern over the FCC’s approach, which he believes extends beyond its authority.

According to U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the FCC’s new rule imposes price controls, terms of service requirements, and labor provisions on broadband providers. Bradley argues that these measures could hinder efforts to close the digital divide and undermine the historic investments in broadband access outlined in the bipartisan infrastructure bill. He emphasizes that reliable, high-speed internet access is crucial for communities and small businesses to participate in the digital economy. The Chamber is now considering legal options to address what it sees as the FCC’s overreach and the potentially adverse effects of the new rule.
