Bernie Sanders (Bernie sanders) plans to allocate $150 billion (as part of the "Green New deal") for infrastructure grants and "public and democratic control, cooperation or open" broadband technical assistance. He will also ensure free broadband in public places and surpass state laws that hinder the municipal Internet, usually provided by private Internet service providers.

The candidate also vowed to reduce service costs "significantly". He will need a basic internet plan to raise FCC's minimum definition of broadband from 10Mbps to 100Mbps, adjust fees and provide adequate subsidies for low-income families. This will involve plans to protect and expand the lifeline. He will impose a total ban on data caps and restrictions and will provide a grant of $500 million a year to promote "digital literacy, adoption and inclusiveness".

It is conceivable that Sanders and Elizabeth Warren will plan to end the Internet monopoly. He will use existing antitrust laws and regulations to break the monopoly of cable and Internet service providers, restore network neutrality and privacy protection, and appoint FCC members to promote "competition, choice and affordability". He will also ask for transparent prices, accurate speed requirements and detailed service information. He will not only call for more accurate broadband maps, but will also conduct a national census to help achieve this goal.

Other plans will focus on building more flexible communications networks that can withstand and recover from disasters such as hurricanes, as well as the effects of climate change, and install fiber-optic lines next to road improvement projects. He will defeat suppliers who take advantage of disasters to profit from customers and build a "modern smart grid" that can transmit electricity reliably and efficiently while dealing with high levels of renewable energy.

Sanders is not the only Democratic candidate committed to broadband access. Warren promised to invest $85 billion in rural broadband, while Joe will provide $20 billion. There is a strong desire to support that Internet access outside cities depends largely on which policies, if any, are the best, and whether they will affect voters in November 2020.
