COVID has illustrated just how critical internet service is to American life. This new awareness has prompted an even greater push to regulate the internet in New York like a utility, similar to phone or electricity service.
Assemblymember Nily Rozic (D-Queens) and Senator Sean Ryan (D-Buffalo) have proposed a bill to authorize the Public Service Commission (PSC) to oversee broadband, as well as “Voice over Internet Protocol,” or VoIP. The legislation is called the “New York Broadband Resilience, Public Safety and Quality Act.”
