AT&T kills home Internet service in NY over law requiring $15 or $20 plans
Briefly

AT&T announced it will cease offering its 5G home Internet service in New York instead of adhering to a new law requiring low-income pricing options.
The company stated, 'While we are committed to providing reliable and affordable Internet service to customers across the country, New York's broadband law imposes harmful rate regulations that make it uneconomical for AT&T to invest in and expand our broadband infrastructure in the state.'
New York's Affordable Broadband Act mandates ISPs to provide specific low-cost plans to eligible low-income households, a requirement AT&T has chosen to reject.
Following years of legal disputes surrounding the Affordable Broadband Act, the enforcement came into effect, prompting AT&T's decision to stop its Internet Air service for New York residents.
