Housing industry lobby groups have expressed gratitude toward the new FCC chair, Carr, for withdrawing a proposed ban on bulk billing arrangements. These arrangements, which facilitate high-speed internet access for renters at significantly lower rates, are praised for their accessibility, especially for low-income individuals and seniors. The National Multifamily Housing Council highlighted that such arrangements eliminate barriers to broadband access, while major ISPs opposed the proposed ban, claiming it would raise prices for consumers. The FCC previously aimed to enhance regulations on exclusivity in broadband service provisions in multi-tenant buildings.
"His decision to withdraw the proposal will ensure that millions of consumers-renters, homeowners and condominium owners-will continue to reap the benefits of bulk billing."
"Bulk billing arrangements have made high-speed internet more accessible and affordable for millions of Americans, especially for low-income renters and seniors living in affordable housing."
