Summary of Bill HRES 672

Bill 114 H.Res. 672, also known as the "Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2666) to prohibit the Federal Communications Commission from regulating the rates charged for broadband Internet access service," is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress.

The main purpose of this bill is to prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from regulating the rates charged for broadband Internet access service. This means that internet service providers would have the freedom to set their own prices for broadband services without interference from the FCC.

Supporters of the bill argue that deregulating broadband rates would promote competition and innovation in the internet industry, leading to lower prices and better services for consumers. They believe that government regulation of broadband rates stifles innovation and limits consumer choice. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that deregulating broadband rates could lead to price gouging and unfair practices by internet service providers. They believe that the FCC plays an important role in protecting consumers and ensuring fair competition in the broadband market. Overall, Bill 114 H.Res. 672 is a controversial piece of legislation that raises important questions about the role of government regulation in the internet industry. It will be interesting to see how this bill progresses through the legislative process and what impact it may have on the future of broadband access in the United States.
