Public Knowledge Lobbies FCC Staff on Digital Discrimination Draft Rules

Public Knowledge raised concerns about "unintended loopholes" that could arise from the FCC's draft order on digital discrimination in a Monday meeting with Wireline Bureau staff (see 2310250070). Per an ex parte filing posted Thursday in docket 22-69, PK told staff that the FCC should clarify that it "intends to apply the economic feasibility framework in a way that balances necessary considerations while remaining faithful to the intent of Congress that low-income Americans enjoy equal access to broadband as wealthier Americans in the same service area." The group also asked the FCC to require staff to share with any complainant any response from an ISP, allow them to rebut the response, and publish the ultimate resolution of any complaint.
