On December 2, NRECA filed
comments with the FCC regarding a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) seeking information about the use of data caps by broadband providers and the impact of such caps on consumers and competition. NRECA highlighted the unique nature of electric cooperatives -- how they are owned by their member customers and accountable to them, and how maximization of customer revenue is not the co-op’s objective. Due to this fact, to the best of our knowledge, none of them includes data caps as part of any serviced package.
