The Federal Communications Commission today ordered cities and towns across the country to stop regulating broadband delivered over cable networks.
The vote to approve Chairman Ajit Pai's plan also limits the fees that municipalities can charge cable companies. This could impact public TV stations and services that network operators provide cities and towns in exchange for cable TV franchises.
