NTCA Points to the Substantial Uncertainty and Risk Posed by the FCC’s Proposed Digital Discrimination Rules

(Nov 8) In a letter to the FCC, NTCA noted that the agency’s proposed digital discrimination rules threaten to intrude upon ISPs’ independent business decision making in a manner neither foreseen nor supported by statute.  NTCA also reiterated its call for FCC rules that recognize that where a provider complies with buildout and Lifeline obligations of the Universal Service Fund, disparate outcomes are not seen as evidence of discriminatory intent.
