FCC Chairman Brendan Carr drops proposal to ban bulk billing deals that require tenants to pay for a specific provider's Internet service.

In March 2024 , then-Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel proposed a ban on arrangements in which tenants pay for broadband, cable, and satellite service.

The plan was opposed by Internet providers and sat on the FCC 's list of items on circulation throughout 2024 without a final vote.
