Bloomberg: Cable Group to FCC: Reclassification of Broadband Could Mean Higher ISP Taxes

  • December 4, 2014
  • The Progressive Policy Institute

The new PPI report “Outdated Regulations Will Make Consumers Pay More for Broadband” was referenced by Bloomberg in an article on a cable industry group’s warning against reclassification of broadband.

The letter comes just days after a Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) report was released, which estimated a possible $17 billion hike in new broadband user fees that could be sparked by Title II reclassification of broadband services.

“Our letter was not a response to the PPI report but it is complimentary in that both suggest significant tax increases for consumers if broadband services are classified as Title II,” Brian Dietz, the NCTA’s vice president of communications and digital strategy, told Bloomberg BNA in a Dec. 3 e-mail.
