Question

As of April 2024, the FCC (10[1])has required providers of this service to publish so-called “nutrition labels” with price and speed information. (10[2])The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocated money to the BEAD program for this service, and provided a $30 monthly subsidy for this service to low-income households to bridge the digital divide. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name this service regulated by network neutrality policies. ■END■ (10[1])
