I am in the business of providing broadband Internet services. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be raising my prices.
There are embedded in the rules record keeping and log maintenance rules that will require me to alter my practices. You see my company isn’t large enough to afford the equipment necessary to restrict bandwidth from certain places or with certain content. If you buy a 4 meg package you get 4 megs.
BUT I will STILL have to keep logs for years, fill out some stupid paperwork reports, and I am sure spend time responding to complaints. I may have to buy some other pieces of hardware so I can monitor every connection to make sure they are getting the full boat. And I will have to gather statistics so I can post them “conspicuously” on my web site so as to be “more transparent”. I figure that at a minimum my monthly price will have to increase by at least $5 to cover these additional costs.
I may have to raise it more after I read the entire rules as posted but $5 is a starting point.
My customers can thank the FCC.
The words "if applicable" precede traffic limiting disclosure requirements. It sounds like you don't have the kind of equipment needed to violate net neutrality, so that part would be easy. If you know your business, you should be able to comply with this rule in about half an hour, and publish it to your users.
Don't believe the scaremongers. They're just doing the bidding of the big telcos that stand to lose their ability to secretly screw their customers.
