The FCC, led by Chairman Brendan Carr, has officially eliminated the Biden-era long-term broadband speed goals that targeted gigabit download and half-gigabit upload speeds nationwide. The decision reverses a policy target that had aimed to ensure widespread access to high-speed internet across the United States.
Background
The Biden administration set ambitious broadband goals in 2024, targeting 1 Gbps download and 500 Mbps upload speeds as a national standard. This marks a significant policy reversal under the new FCC leadership.
