Broadband
Closing the digital divide is a top priority for many policymakers and the private sector. However, the FCC is pursuing two major rulemakings that significantly and adversely impact the broadband marketplace and Americans’ ability to get online.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Texas Association of Business, and the Longview Chamber of Commerce filed a lawsuit against the FCC over its “digital discrimination rule.”
