WASHINGTON, April 9, 2024 – Advocacy nonprofit EducationSuperHighway has joined industry groups and landlords in asking the Federal Communications Commission to rethink its proposal to ban bulk billing agreements between building owners and ISPs.

The group, which backs efforts to expand affordable broadband, met with commission staff twice in recent weeks to argue the practice can lower adoption barriers in low-income and public housing by providing automatic sign-ups and lower monthly rates.
