Summary
Under incoming FCC Chair Brendan Carr, plans to regulate broadband data caps are likely to end.
ISPs argue caps offer affordable options and promote fair pricing, while consumer groups claim they are unnecessary, harmful to low-income households, and purely profit-driven.
Critics point out that data caps don’t manage network congestion and were suspended during the pandemic without issues.
Supporters insist caps are needed for pricing flexibility and to avoid higher costs for low-data users.
The debate continues, with no regulation expected under the new FCC leadership.
Good for what exactly? Net neutrality is a guarantee all traffic is treated equal. Like I will prioritize xitter over other services ? Heck even a reason to start blocking it under the excuse of “to preserve network performance and experience”
