A new proposed California law aims to require Internet service providers to offer $15 monthly plans for low-income households, including minimum speeds of 100Mbps download and 20Mbps upload. Inspired by a successful New York law, this legislation, introduced by Assemblymember Tasha Boerner, would require ISPs to prominently advertise these affordable plans. The amendment to the bill, expected to be officially recorded soon, defines these plans as affordable and ensures they include all taxes and fees, aiming to facilitate services like distance learning and telehealth for eligible residents.
"Every California Internet service provider shall offer for purchase to eligible households within their California service territory affordable home Internet service that meets minimum speed requirements."
"The requirement for specific speeds and a $15 price is being added to the bill with an amendment that was provided to Ars today by Boerner's office."
