FCC proposes ending broadband fee transparency rule

The FCC will vote to end a rule requiring ISPs to list all fees on broadband price labels. This change could make prices less transparent for consumers. The Biden-era rule mandated itemized passthrough fees. The proposed change would allow ISPs to list these fees as a single "up to" amount. ISPs have argued that itemizing fees is complex. The FCC's draft order suggests aggregating these fees, including government and non-government charges.
