Data Caps

This petition is to support Netflix and their fight to end data caps. Phil Bray from Netflix says "Data caps (especially low data caps) and usage-based pricing ('UBP') discourage a consumer's consumption of broadband, and may impede the ability of some households to watch Internet television in a manner and amount that they would like," Netflix wrote. "For this reason, the Commission should hold that data caps on fixed-­line networks ­­and low data caps on mobile networks­­ may unreasonably limit Internet television viewing and are inconsistent with Section 706."

"Because of a low data cap, an online service may need to pay an ISP to zero-rate its traffic to enable that ISP's customers to access the online service," Netflix wrote. "Such arrangements create an incentive for ISPs to maintain artificially low caps."

Netflix said the average American needs 300 GB per month of just internet TV (like Netflix), not to mention everything else you want to do on the internet.
