FCC Launches Inquiry into Data Caps and Privacy Breaches

FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has requested a formal inquiry into the impact of data caps on internet users and why broadband providers still impose them. The inquiry will seek public comment on the impact of data caps on consumers, their experience with data caps, and how they impact competition. The FCC has also created a "Data Caps Experience Form" for users to share their experiences. Rosenworcel wants to ensure that data caps do not harm competition or consumers' ability to access broadband internet services.
