California fights "preposterous" Trump admin demand to scrap state broadband laws
摘要
加州接受特朗普政府14.2亿美元宽带拨款，但拒绝其停止执行网络中立法规等要求。州方保留挑战联邦附加条件的权利，可能引发州、联邦政府与互联网提供商之间的法律争端，宽带拨款发放计划也可能因此延迟或取消。联邦宽带公平接入与部署计划要求各州承诺不对接受资金的运营商实施费率或网络中立监管，加州需在拨款与监管自主之间权衡。
California is accepting $1.42 billion in broadband grant funding from the Trump administration, but the state is not accepting the Trump administration's demand that it stop enforcing a net neutrality law and other telecom regulations.
California's stand against the Trump administration could result in multiple legal battles involving the state, federal government, and Internet providers seeking government funds. Although California told the federal government it would accept the money, it is reserving the right to challenge the condition imposed by the US. The state could delay or cancel plans to distribute broadband grants depending on how the process unfolds.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) decided last year that states must agree not to enforce any rate regulation or net neutrality rule on ISPs that receive money from the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. California had to decide whether to accept its share of the fund despite that restriction. California is slated to spend $1.42 billion to deploy broadband to 270,571 locations, and may ultimately receive up to $1.86 billion from BEAD for a mix of deployment and non-deployment projects.
