No Rate Regulation of Broadband Internet Access Act

H.R. 2666, the No Rate Regulation of Broadband Internet Access Act, would prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from setting or regulating the prices that internet service providers charge for broadband internet. While the bill restricts the government’s ability to control monthly subscription costs, it preserves the FCC’s authority to enforce rules regarding "truth-in-billing" and to regulate "paid prioritization," where providers might charge websites for faster delivery of content. For the average citizen, this means the federal government would be prohibited from intervening in the market rates set by internet companies, though the FCC would still be able to ensure those companies are transparent about their fees.
