Originally Published 1 year ago — by Deadline

The FCC has passed new rules requiring cable and satellite providers to clearly disclose the "all in" price of subscriptions in promotional materials, aiming to eliminate hidden fees and make it easier for consumers to compare services. The rules, passed 3-2, have faced opposition from industry representatives who argue that it will lead to cluttered ads or omitted pricing information. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has also proposed measures to address "junk fees" and eliminate early termination fees, while the White House has focused on limiting surcharges and late fees in various industries.
