House bill to regulate usage caps

June 24, 2009

Via ars technica, the news that Rep. Eric Massa’s previously mentioned bill to regulate ISP usage caps is now ready for introduction in the House, and available to read as a PDF.

Rather than banning usage caps outright, the proposed legislation simply empowers the FCC to regulate the imposition of caps and the prices charged. Nevertheless, I imagine it’ll be heavily fought against by the broadband ISPs.
