WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Federal Communications Commission said on Tuesday it was opening a formal inquiry into why broadband providers cap data use by some customers, and how it impacts consumers and competition.
"For most people in the United States, rationing their internet usage would be unthinkable and impractical. But, for millions, limitations on how much data they can use online is a constant concern," said FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel.
