Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman *Jessica Rosenworcel* wasted
no time in promulgating rules regarding network neutrality. With *Anna
Gomez’ *confirmation as the elusive fifth commissioner, Democrats finally
have a majority at the agency. The chairwoman has said that she will put
forward proposed rules on the topic at the agency’s open meeting on October
19. The partisan-tinged topic is expected to largely be a return of the
2015 rules under the agency’s authority under Title II of the
Communications Act. One day after Rosenworcel’s Tuesday speech on net
neutrality – and one day before the item is publicly released – Broadband
Breakfast will convene industry and civil society stakeholders in a
discussion about What Happens Next?

*BROADBAND ROUNDUP* FTC and 17 States Sue Amazon, Gomez Sworn in at FCC,

September 26, 2023 – The Federal Trade Commission and 17 state attorney
generals filed an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon on Tuesday alleging that
online retail utilizes anticompetitive and unfair strategies to illegally
maintain its dominance in e-commerce.

The FTC and the states said
<https://BroadbandBreakfast.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5637f8058831c038004b4f502&id=8cfa9ac4ab&e=62f1e7a8b2>
that
the global conglomerate is breaking the law through engaging in
exclusionary conduct that prevents other companies from growing or
emerging. It also cites that by constraining the competition through
“price, product selection, quality, and preventing its current or future
rivals from attracting a critical mass of shoppers and sellers” Amazon is
ensuring there is no threat to its dominance.
*NET NEUTRALITY* FCC Looking to Reinstate Net Neutrality Rules
<https://BroadbandBreakfast.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5637f8058831c038004b4f502&id=053f1ef633&e=62f1e7a8b2>

WASHINGTON, September 26, 2023 – The Federal Communications Commission is
planning to seek comment on reinstating net neutrality rules, FCC
Chairwoman *Jessica Rosenworcel* announced on Tuesday.

Net neutrality rules give the FCC more authority to regulate internet
companies by classifying broadband as an essential communications service
under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934, including the power to
prevent internet providers from adjusting the speed of network traffic to
favor certain sites. The agency instated similar rules in 2015 before they
were repealed by then-Republican Chairman *Ajit Pai* in 2017.

Mirroring the 2015 rules, the proposal – set to be released on Thursday –
specifies that when regulating broadband providers under Title II, the
commission would pass up 27 of the most onerous provisions in the law and
hundreds of agency regulations that typically apply to Title II services
like voice calling, Rosenworcel said in the announcement.

Broadband Breakfast is pleased to announce that the annual Digital
Infrastructure Investment – our fifth conference in this series – will be

707 7th Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20001*, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The annual Digital Infrastructure Investment program brings the broadband
infrastructure and financial services communities together to focus on the
digital infrastructure and investment asset profile, including fiber, small
cells, towers and data center assets, that is required to support a
21st-century information economy.

The pathbreaking program unites infrastructure investment fund managers,
institutional investors, private equity and venture capitalists with senior
broadband leaders and brings clarity to the next business model for
advanced digital infrastructure.

WASHINGTON, September 26, 2023 – Federal and state broadband grants can
serve as catalysts for other sources of funding, experts said at the
Broadband Breakfast BEAD Implementation Summit
<https://BroadbandBreakfast.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5637f8058831c038004b4f502&id=37396c636a&e=62f1e7a8b2>
on
Friday.

The $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment program is
providing an unprecedented amount in federal funds for expanding broadband
infrastructure, but some states have estimated their allocations will fall
short of the amount needed to get high-speed internet to all of their
residents.
*5G* Industry Praises FCC Proposal to Revamp the 5G Rural Fund

Experts cited a lack of middle mile as the biggest obstacle to reaching
many unserved areas.

*Wednesday, October 4, 2023 – Permitting Reforms and Pole Attachments*

Recent public and private investments in broadband, including the more than
$40 billion allocated through the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment
grant program will play a significant role in helping bridge our country’s
digital divide. We must now ensure these funds are used most efficiently
and effectively to bring connectivity to our unserved friends and
neighbors. While policymakers are working to lift barriers that hinder
broadband deployment, such as permitting reform, other barriers remain
sidelined, such as pole access. This special session will discuss steps we
can take today to maximize broadband funds and accelerate broadband access
for rural and unserved communities.

The renewal of the Affordable Connectivity Program has been a subject of
considerable ambiguity in recent months. There have been widespread
predictions that the program, which offers $30 and $75 monthly internet
discounts to low-income households, is likely to dry up in early 2024.
While experts have voiced concerns the end of the ACP will spell disaster
for ongoing broadband expansion efforts, Congress has yet to take any
action to replenish the program. What lies ahead for the ACP and its 19
million beneficiaries across the nation? Join us to hear from experts in
the field as we discuss the fate of the ACP and explore potential pathways
for promoting digital inclusion in the United States.
