Impactful Policy Frameworks
Net Neutrality Regulations (Ongoing)
Net neutrality regulations ensure that all internet traffic is treated equally, preventing internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking, throttling, or prioritizing content based on its source or destination.
Net neutrality rules prevent ISPs like AT&T from prioritizing or discriminating against certain types of internet traffic, impacting their ability to offer tiered services or prioritize their own content.
Broadband Infrastructure Deployment (2021)
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes provisions for broadband deployment, aiming to bridge the digital divide by expanding internet access to unserved and underserved areas.
The FCC's efforts to expand broadband access through funding and infrastructure development directly affect AT&T's expansion plans and competitive positioning in underserved areas.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) (2018)
The CCPA grants California consumers broad rights over their personal data, including the right to access, delete, and opt-out of the sale of their personal information.
Data privacy regulations require AT&T to implement robust security measures and be transparent about data collection practices, potentially increasing operational costs and impacting customer trust.
