The rule took effect in April 2024 after the FCC rejected ISPs’ complaints that listing every fee they created would be too difficult. The rule applies specifically to recurring monthly fees “that providers impose at their discretion, i.e., charges not mandated by a government.”
ISPs could comply with the rule either by listing the fees or by dropping the fees altogether and, if they choose, raising their overall prices by a corresponding amount. But the latter option wouldn’t fit with the strategy of enticing customers with a low advertised price and hitting them with the real price on their monthly bills. The broadband price label rules were created to stop ISPs from advertising misleadingly low prices.
This is so dumb, how could anyone at the FCC even humor such a request?
“Please help us, we overcomplicated billing and don’t want to explain it to anyone”
It’s easy - ISPs just bribed the people running the FCC now (because that’s become an ok thing to do), and the FCC turns around and says “yep sounds good”
the first term they were angling to get rid of NN, which was distraction of the 2017 tax cuts, i remember tha tpeople were tired of the NN news they dint tune in the tax cuts.
Centrists and conservatives consider Brice’s to be speech.
