AK SB160

Requires broadband Internet service providers to publicly disclose accurate information about network management practices, performance, and commercial terms to enable consumers to make informed choices and allow edge providers to develop Internet offerings.

Prohibits broadband utilities from blocking lawful content, applications, services, or devices; impairing or degrading lawful Internet traffic based on content or application type; or giving preferential treatment to certain traffic in exchange for compensation or to benefit affiliated entities.

Allows the Public Utilities Commission to waive the preferential traffic management prohibition if the utility demonstrates public interest benefit, or to favor Internet-based education or telemedicine services.

Defines key terms including "broadband Internet access service" (mass-market retail service providing data transmission to substantially all Internet endpoints), "edge provider" (individuals or entities providing content, applications, services, or access devices), and "end user" (individuals or entities using broadband service).

Makes violations of Internet neutrality requirements unlawful acts or practices under Alaska's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act.
