Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act of 2006
Okay, so in 2006, some grown-ups made a big decision about how people can talk to each other and use the internet. They called it the Communications Opportunity, Promotion, and Enhancement Act. It's really long, so we can call it the COPE Act for short.
The COPE Act is all about making sure everyone has a fair chance to use communication things like phones and the internet. It also wants to make sure these things are really good and work well.
The COPE Act has lots of rules and goals, like:
- It makes sure that big companies that make the internet and phone things can't pick and choose which websites and apps you can use. This means you can use any website or app you want without anyone stopping you.
- The COPE Act also thinks it's important for people to have fast internet, especially in places where there aren't many people. So, it tells companies to work harder to give everyone good internet, even if it's in a faraway place.
- Another thing the COPE Act does is it helps people who have disabilities to use the internet and phones. It makes sure these things are easy to use and understand for everyone, even if they are blind or can't hear well.
Overall, the COPE Act wants everyone to have a good and fair chance to use communication things. It tries to make sure we all get to use the internet and phones in the best way possible.
