FCC proposes changes to broadband labels, potentially hiding ISP junk fees

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing changes to broadband nutrition labels that could make it easier for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to obscure junk fees. The Republican-led FCC suggests that detailed fee breakdowns are too confusing for consumers and plans to allow ISPs to present fees in an aggregated format rather than itemized lists. These proposed modifications, which public interest groups oppose, would also permit conversational presentation of label information and remove requirements for machine-readable data and long-term archiving of price labels.
