Public Housing Group Concerned With FCC Proposed Prohibition on Broadband Bulk Billing

The Council of Large Public Housing Authorities is concerned about the FCC's proposal that would ban bulk billing arrangements between ISPs and building owners (see 2403050069). The group said in a meeting with an aide to Commissioner Geoffrey Starks and a separate letter to Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel that "wholesale elimination of bulk billing would precipitate unintended consequences by having a negative effect on low-income residents." CLPHA noted that some bulk billing arrangements let residents in public housing units receive service at no cost.
