Congress came together to make access to high-speed and reliable internet for all Americans a priority. But the Biden administration’s extreme regulation and price controls threaten rural broadband investment and innovation.
This could leave millions of Americans with worse—or no—internet access.
Contact your Senators and urge them to tell the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to stop messing with America’s internet.
More information:
Congress came together in a bipartisan manner to provide $42.5 billion for broadband deployment. That should be more than enough to get every American access to high-speed internet. Unfortunately, President Biden is implementing the law in a hyper-partisan way, pushing extreme regulation and price controls that threaten to leave Americans disconnected from the jobs, education, and healthcare opportunities that come with broadband.
Case in point: President Biden’s Commerce Department, through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), is imposing price controls at the behest of left-wing activists. Congress specifically outlawed broadband price controls in the bipartisan infrastructure law, and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and NTIA Administrator Alan Davidson both claimed in sworn testimony before Congress that they aren’t price regulating.
The evidence says otherwise.
The Biden administration is holding hostage Virginia’s broadband funding because the state refuses to comply with NTIA’s illegal price control demands. It’s rural Virginians and rural Americans across the country who will suffer from this partisanship.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is making things worse. The agency has unleashed a regulatory onslaught on broadband providers—slapping them with 1930s-era telephone regulations and “digital equity” rules that amount to a government takeover of the internet. Between price controls and extreme regulation, it’s all but certain that broadband investment and innovation will suffer.
