FCC Drops Plan to Cut Business Data Rates

The Federal Communications Commission has dropped a proposal to change its Business Data Services rule in a way that would favor non-union companies like Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless.

The FCC's proposal to cut rates for some elements of business data services would have had "a devastating impact on investment needed for broadband expansion, especially in rural areas," CWA told the Commission.

CWA has called for more investment in fiber and high speed broadband, not less, to expand access for all Americans and create good jobs.
