tl;dr:
FCC chair to investigate exactly how much everyone hates data caps ISPs clearly have technical ability to offer unlimited data, chair’s office says.
Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel wants the FCC to open a formal inquiry into how data caps harm Internet users and why broadband providers still impose the caps.
The inquiry could eventually lead to the FCC regulating how Internet service providers such as Comcast impose limits on data usage.
“As we emerge from the pandemic, there are many lessons to learn about what worked and what didn’t work, especially around what it takes to keep us all connected. When we need access to the Internet, we aren’t thinking about how much data it takes to complete a task, we just know it needs to get done. It’s time the FCC take a fresh look at how data caps impact consumers and competition.”
So are they going to request comments from citizens, come to the conclusion that everyone loves data caps, and then later have it be revealed that most of the responses were fake?
Oh they’ll still mostly be fake, but with the current FCC admin I don’t expect the same level of fuckery like we saw with ahshítpie
He is a corpo traitor and all around scumbag, may he burn in hell like a tire fire.
If there’s any justice in the universe he absolutely will
