Sens Luján and Booker Introduce Legislation Stop Unnecessary Data Caps and Promote Access to High-Speed Broadband

Sens Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced legislation to prohibit predatory data caps that force families to pay high costs and unnecessary fees to access high-speed broadband. As Americans’ need for data is increasing, pricing structures for broadband services must encourage participation in the digital economy, promote competition and innovation, and ensure investment in national broadband infrastructure is used to its highest capacity. The Uncap America Act requires data caps be only used for network management purposes and directs the Federal Communications Commission to hold providers accountable when they impose predatory data caps.
