FCC paves way for some rural broadband fee waivers during pandemic

The Federal Communications Commission announced Wednesday that it has approved two tariff waivers that will allow hundreds of rural broadband and phone providers "to forego late fees for customers with 'economic challenges' due to the pandemic," John Eggerton reports for Multichannel News.

The waivers for the National Exchange Carrier Association and John Staurulakis Inc. allow the rate-of-return carriers to waive late fees from any residential or small-business customers, as well as installation and early cancellation fees, in keeping with the FCC's Keep Americans Connected Pledge.
