FCC to end Biden-era rule that forces ISPs to list all their fees
摘要
美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）将投票废除一项要求互联网服务提供商（ISP）在宽带价格标签上列出所有“转嫁”费用的规定。该投票还可能使消费者更难找到这些价格标签。ISP通常宣传的价格远低于实际月账单收费，通过附加费用提高价格。过去十年，FCC要求ISP向消费者披露具体价格，但新投票将取消这一规则。
The Federal Communications Commission will vote to eliminate a rule that requires Internet service providers to list all of their so-called "passthrough" fees on an easily accessible broadband price label. The FCC vote could also make the price labels themselves a bit harder for consumers to find.
ISPs routinely advertise prices much lower than those actually charged to consumers on their monthly bills. One method of raising monthly bill prices above advertised rates is to tack on fees that, ISPs claim, are used to offset charges imposed by local governments.
ISPs would be well within their rights to advertise accurate monthly prices and charge those exact prices on monthly bills. But because ISPs rarely do that, the FCC has required them to make specific price disclosures to consumers for the past decade.
