NO CAP Act
HR 7453, the NO CAP Act, prohibits broadband providers from raising prices, adding new fees, or enforcing data usage limits for residential customers in areas affected by declared emergencies. During a major disaster, emergency, or public health emergency (as defined by federal law), the bill blocks providers from increasing rates or imposing new data caps for 60 days after the emergency ends. It applies to standard home broadband services but explicitly excludes mobile broadband plans. The law aims to ensure uninterrupted internet access for households during crises without requiring additional fees or restrictions.
