N.Y. Governor Vetoes Broadband Access Consideration Bill

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on Friday vetoed S-6056, which would have added access to high-speed broadband Internet service as a consideration in competitive economic development grant projects, according to New York's Senate. Meanwhile, Hochul the same day approved A-1368, which lets utilities, cable companies and telecos provide notice of bills to third parties at the customer's request, the state's Assembly said. In addition, the governor signed into law S-5410, which requires the state's websites to be mobile friendly, the Senate said.
