Needs and Uses: The Restoring
internet Freedom Report and Order
(Restoring internet Freedom Order)
revised the information collection
requirements applicable to internet
service providers (ISPs). The Open
internet Order, adopted in 2010,
required ISPs to disclose certain
network management processes,
performance characteristics, and other
attributes of broadband internet access
service. These disclosure requirements
were significantly increased by the Title
II Order, adopted in 2015. The Restoring
internet Freedom Order eliminated the
additional collection imposed by the
Title II Order, and added a few discrete
elements to the Open internet Order’s
information collection requirements.
The Restoring internet Freedom Order
requires an ISP to publicly disclose
network management practices,
performance, and commercial terms of
its broadband internet access service
sufficient to enable consumers to make
informed choices regarding the
purchase and use of such services, and
entrepreneurs and other small
businesses to develop, market, and
maintain internet offerings. As part of
these disclosures, the rule requires ISPs
to disclose their congestion
management, application-specific
behavior, device attachment rules, and
security practices, as well as any
blocking, throttling, affiliated
prioritization, or paid prioritization in
which they engage. The rule also
requires ISPs to disclose performance
characteristics, including a service
description and the impact of
nonbroadband internet access services
data services. Finally, the rule requires
ISPs to disclose the price of the service,
privacy policies, and redress options.
The rule requires ISPs to make such
disclosures available either via a
publicly-available, easily accessible
website or through transmittal to the
Commission, which will make such
disclosures available via a publiclyavailable, easily accessible website. The
information collection will assist the
Commission in its statutory obligation
to report to Congress on market entry
barriers in the telecommunications
market. The Commission anticipates
that the revised disclosures would
empower consumers and businesses
with information about their broadband
internet access service, protecting the
openness of the internet. Although this
collection was bifurcated in 2016 with
respect to fixed and mobile ISPs, the
Commission seeks to have this
collection encompass both fixed and
mobile ISPs.
