FCC Classifies Wireless Broadband Internet Access Service as an Information Service. Declaratory Ruling (34 pages, PDF): “In this Declaratory Ruling, we find that wireless broadband Internet access service is an information service under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act or Act). We also find that the transmission component of wireless broadband Internet access service is “telecommunications” and that the offering of the telecommunications transmission component as part of a functionally integrated Internet access service offering is not “telecommunications service” under section 3 of the Act. Further, we find that neither the Communications Act nor relevant precedent mandates that broadband transmission be a “telecommunications service” when provided to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) as a wholesale input for the ISP’s own wireless broadband Internet access service offering, but the provider may choose to offer it as such. Finally, we find that mobile wireless broadband Internet access service is not a “commercial mobile service” under section 332 of the Act.”
