Impactful Policy Frameworks
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) Wind-Down (2024)
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, provided eligible low-income households with a discount on broadband service, but funding is set to expire in mid-2024 without further congressional appropriation.
The wind-down of ACP will likely reduce broadband subscriber numbers for service providers and could impact CTAM's efforts to amplify broadband value.
Net Neutrality Reclassification (2024)
The FCC voted in April 2024 to reclassify broadband internet service as a Title II telecommunications service, restoring net neutrality rules that prevent internet service providers from blocking, throttling, or prioritizing lawful content.
This reclassification will ensure fair access to content and services for consumers, potentially increasing competition among content providers and impacting ISP business models.
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA) and Open App Markets Act (OAMA) (Proposed/Ongoing)
These proposed antitrust bills aim to curb the market power of large tech companies (e.g., Google, Apple, Amazon) by preventing self-preferencing and requiring more open app ecosystems.
If passed, these acts could significantly alter how content is distributed and discovered on major platforms, directly affecting content providers and potentially benefiting smaller solution providers.
