New York to require providers to offer $15 broadband to low-income customers – or get fined
Fox News
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled Friday that New York may proceed with a law requiring internet service providers to offer heavy discounts to low-income residents.
The law would force internet companies to give some low-income New Yorkers broadband service for as low as $15 a month, or face fines from the state.
Telecoms trade groups sued over the law, arguing it would cost them too much money and that it wrongly superseded a federal law that governs internet service.
