FCC Mandates Transparent Pricing for Cable TV Services
The FCC has mandated that cable and satellite-TV providers must clearly display the total costs for video subscriptions, including all fees, in an effort to improve pricing transparency and help consumers make informed choices. This move aims to combat hidden fees and make it easier for users to compare costs with streaming services. The FCC also plans to introduce "Broadband Consumer Labels" for internet services and end company early termination fees, while the NCTA has expressed concerns about the practicality of disclosing post-promotional rates.
