FCC Mandates Broadband 'Nutrition' Labels for Internet Providers
TL;DR Summary
The FCC has implemented a new rule requiring large internet service providers (ISPs) to display "nutrition labels" showing plan details, fees, data allowances, and more both in store and online, aiming to prevent hidden fees and provide transparency to consumers. The labels must include information on speeds, fees, and any additional costs, and must be easily accessible to customers. ISPs with over 100,000 subscribers must comply immediately, while smaller providers have until October 10 to do so. Consumers can file complaints with the FCC for non-compliance or inaccurate information.
