In a move that is sure to anger broadband providers both large and small, FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel is proposing a ban on bulk billing arrangements for internet and cable TV service at MDU's. Too often, tenants living in these households are forced to pay high prices with limited choices for internet or other services. - FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking being pitched by Rosenworcel would propose banning bulk billing arrangements by which tenants are required to pay for broadband, cable, and satellite service provided by a specific communications provider, even if they do not wish to take the service or would prefer to use another provider. It proposes allowing tenants to opt out of bulk billing arrangements. Rosenworcel says the proposal would also increase competition for communications service in these buildings by making it more profitable for competitive providers to deploy service in buildings where it is currently too expensive to serve consumers because tenants are required to take a certain provider’s service.
