The FCC has terminated a proposal from the Biden administration that sought to limit apartment landlords' ability to compel residents to use a single internet service provider. New FCC chair Brendan Carr argues that the previous proposal could have led to a significant increase in internet costs for residents. Instead, the FCC will allow landlords to establish bulk billing agreements with ISPs, which critics say could lead to reduced competition and higher prices for consumers. The controversy centers around the balance between regulatory oversight and the ability of landlords to manage service contracts.
I have ended the FCC's consideration of a Biden-era proposal that could have increased *by 50 percent* the price that some Americans living in apartments pay for Internet service.
Carr calls Biden's Bulk Billing proposal "regulatory overreach" and claims it "would have artificially raised the cost of Internet service."
