To give the Michigan Public Service Commission the power to regulate all providers of broadband service and the rates they charge, in the same manner that it regulates regional electric and gas monopolies. The bill specifies that regulations could extend “but not be limited to” matters including “billing transparency, pricing, service quality, dispute resolution, nondiscriminatory treatment, service for vulnerable populations, discontinuance of service” and more. The commission would have the power to impose price controls, service mandates, suspend providers’ licenses and more.
Referred to the Committee on Communications and Technology
