The FCC is requiring internet providers to tell consumers exactly what they're getting in their broadband plans.
Beginning Wednesday, internet service providers will be trying to make it easier for consumers to understand what's in their monthly internet bills. The Federal Communications Commission is now requiring providers to provide notices that resemble nutrition labels that break down what they're getting and how much the individual parts of their internet service cost. The content of the labels won't be calories or grams of sugar and fat, though.
The price breakdowns on the label may be used for comparison shopping purposes. In a video message about the announcement released Wednesday morning, President Biden referred to the move as an effort to eliminate so-called junk fees. 'Folks, my administration is taking a major step toward eliminating junk fees on internet bills,' Mr. Biden said in a video message on his POTUS social media accounts.
