Bill > A3028

Introduced Session

This bill directs the Board of Public Utilities to prohibit an Internet service provider (ISP) from installing broadband telecommunications infrastructure on any pole or post located on or over any highway or any right-of-way, or on any underground facility, belonging to a public utility or cable television company, unless the ISP: 1) publicly discloses to customers located in this State accurate information regarding the network management practices and performance, and commercial terms of its Internet service; 2) does not engage in paid prioritization; and 3) permits customers located in this State to access all lawful Internet content, applications, and services, and to use non-harmful Internet-enabled devices, without discrimination and without the impairment or degradation of Internet access speeds, subject to reasonable network management. This bill defines "paid prioritization" as the management of an ISP's network to directly or indirectly favor some data traffic over other data traffic, including through use of techniques such as data traffic shaping, prioritization, resource reservation, or other forms of preferential data traffic management, either in exchange for consideration from a third party or to benefit an affiliated entity.
