Overview

• New FCC rules require internet providers to include 'broadband nutrition labels' in their offerings, detailing costs, speeds, and other terms.
• The labels are designed to provide clear, straightforward information to consumers at the point of sale, both online and in-store.
• Critics argue that while transparency is improved, the labels do not address the larger issue of telecom monopoly power in the U.S.
• Providers failing to display these labels or posting inaccurate information can be reported to the FCC Consumer Complaint Center.
• Smaller ISPs have until October 2024 to comply, while larger providers must implement labels immediately.
