"Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr says Internet service providers shouldn't have to list every fee they charge."

So much for pricing transparency!!!


Well, there is this from the proposal:

"We seek comment on whether providers should instead display on the label the aggregate amount of such fees."

So, you would still see the total amount of the fees, just not broken out into a list of each one. Seems reasonable to me.

Depends how they define a fee...Some ISPs charge rental fees for modems and routers.. This could be a sneaky way to increase rental costs for equipment without the customer realizing what is going on...If it's just some silly government fees that would be ok
 
Will they be required to disclose the total amount charged at the time that services are ordered?
 
aggregating the fees feels like such an easy way to hide provider-based fees and pretend like they're all government-mandated fees. "oh your bill went up because the FCC 911 fee went from $3 to $14 sorry!"
