Unlocking the Future of Real Estate

[Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC]

Thanks to President Trump, millions of Americans are paying a lot less for Internet

The Trump FCC quickly shut down a Biden-era plan that would have spiked Internet prices

A new study now shows that consumers would have paid $5.6 Billion more annually under the Biden FCC’s plan

@BrendanCarrFCC Grateful to Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC for highlighting our new study with Cartesian, Understanding Bulk Billing Arrangements: https://t.co/ueC0XgzKt3.

Its findings reinforce what a broad coalition has long said about the benefits of bulk billing: https://t.co/7ioBValn5d.

A new study released today from @BulkBroadband reveals residents of homeowner associations, condos, and apartments save more than 50% on broadband relative to comparable retail plans under bulk billing arrangements.

The study, conducted by Cartesian, is the most comprehensive empirical analysis of bulk broadband to date.

📡 RETTC and our coalition partners continue to push back against California’s AB 1414, a bill that threatens to drive up broadband costs for renters and limit access to proven bulk internet solutions. While HOAs would be able to keep bulk broadband contracts under the bill, rental housing communities—and their residents—would lose out. We’re urging lawmakers to protect affordability, connectivity, and innovation for renters across California.

Last week, RETTC met with staff from the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office in preparation for their new “junk fee” regulations, set to take effect on September 2.

This consumer protection rule aims to eliminate so-called junk fees. During the meeting, RETTC emphasized multifamily providers' strong commitment to price transparency. We also showcased how our data-sharing models (MITS) are streamlining operations, reducing costs, and delivering greater transparency—ultimately benefiting renters.

While rental housing providers are actively preparing for compliance, RETTC highlighted the significant operational challenges this regulation presents. We look forward to continued dialogue with policymakers to ensure that innovation and transparency remain aligned in advancing housing affordability and access.

Billions in broadband funds are hitting the states, and rental housing must be part of the conversation.

Check out the latest article from RETTC's Julianne Goodfellow and @bbcmag's @ValerieMSargent on what housing providers need to know about the BEAD program and how we can make sure renters aren't left behind.

America needs a national data privacy standard—now more than ever.

This week, the House Financial Services Committee spotlighted the critical role of data privacy in our financial system. Ahead of the hearing, RETTC shared insights on how housing providers and tech partners are already prioritizing data security every day.

But we need more than just good intentions. We need a clear, flexible and scalable federal standard. The patchwork of conflicting state laws is putting consumers and innovation at risk.
