As an organization dedicated to empowering Hispanic-owned businesses, the USHBC has long held that overly restrictive regulations pose significant risk to small businesses, many of whom rely on broadband networks for their operations and growth. The proposed reclassification would have subjected internet providers to outdated, telephone-era regulations, creating unnecessary red tape, raising costs, and hindering broadband expansion–especially in underserved areas.
Javier Palomarez, USHBC President and CEO, issued the following statement:
“This court decision is a victory for small businesses and rural communities alike. Burdening broadband providers with unnecessary regulations would have slowed down the rollout of critical infrastructure and hampered the innovation that small businesses depend on to thrive in the digital economy.”
Javier continued by saying:
“We urge policymakers to prioritize practical, forward-looking solutions to close the digital divide and support entrepreneurs. As we saw during the COVID-19 pandemic, America’s light-touch regulatory framework enabled broadband networks to power remote work, education, and telehealth seamlessly, proving the resilience and strength of our system compared to over-regulated markets abroad.”
The USHBC will continue advocating for policies that foster innovation, expand broadband access, and empower Hispanic-owned businesses to compete in a rapidly evolving economy.
