Congress is currently hammering out an infrastructure bill that includes a section on broadband. The following Twitter thread from July 23 that provides a response to the broadband section of a recent draft bill that was produced in the course of Congress's ongoing negotiations:
(2) Unfortunately, it appears the latest iteration of the infrastructure bill is more focused on expanding federal regulatory power and control over broadband service rates than on expanding Americans’ access to broadband service.

(4) The infrastructure bill, part of ongoing negotiating to reach compromise, contains a broadband section that appears to compromise itself. Its regulatory control approach will undermine efforts to expand broadband access. Congress should go back to the drawing board.
