The New York City council is considering a bill which, if passed, could turn internet into a free building amenity such as hot water and heat.

As per Time Out NY, Councilman Ben Kallos introduced a bill proposing that all new construction in NYC should be required to have wiring for internet. The bill would also require that within three years, all landlords with over 10 units should provide free broadband internet to residents. Kallos, elected in 2013 and lauded by the Times for his “fresh ideas ”, represents District 5 including the Upper East Side, Midtown East, Roosevelt Island and East Harlem.
