FCC to Vote July 22 on ISP Fee-Bundling Rule as Broadband Labels Lose Detail

Summary
July 22 is the date the FCC will vote on a draft order letting internet providers fold monthly passthrough fees into a single aggregate “up to” charge instead of itemizing them.
The proposal would also let ISPs link to broadband labels rather than display them on ordering pages, drop machine-readable label requirements, and stop keeping archives of discontinued plans.
Phone sales would become less detailed too: agents could give only the aggregate price and direct customers to a website for any fuller breakdown.
The draft reverses Biden-era broadband label rules meant to show the actual monthly price more clearly, and would take effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Register if approved.
