ISPs’ long nightmare of having to list all the fees they charge is finally over
Summary
Ars Technica reports that the FCC voted to eliminate the Biden era rule requiring ISPs to list every passthrough fee on broadband price labels. The new order allows an aggregate up to amount for passthrough fees on price labels and requires subcategories for state and local government fees and third party fees, with a link to explanations. The change aims to simplify labeling but may reduce pricing transparency for consumers, as the label becomes less granular while remaining accessible online and in portals.
