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.

    Let’s see… They slowed down the war that they started in Iran. They released half of the Epstein files, just not the presumably 50% that directly implicate Trump. Trump fired Pam Bondi who he had appointed.

    It’s hard to think of anything good that they did that wasn’t just toning down or backtracking of something bad that they had previously done.

      Its literally just an abuse-manipulation tactic at that point.

      Going overboard, then retreating back only slightly to give the false impression of being reasonable, when theyve already got what they want.

      Throw it on the pile of shit that the public will never acknowledge, yes I know.
