Internet providers may no longer have to itemize discretionary fees under the FCC proposal

Instead of removing the rule, force the companies to issue less fees. Its just that simple…
Consolidated Fee: $34
Fee Consolidation Fee: $23
Fee Consolidation Fee Convenience Fee: $52
They’re not mutually exclusive. Listing the fees is pointless if there’s nothing anyone can do about them.
The point is so people can see what fees they will get before making a decision to sign up.
This was passed during the previous administration, so of course they’re trying to get rid of it.
“It’s not good for consumers it’s bad for business!”
I was playing this game long before Trump came around, didn’t lose once, got boring.
When you see a headline that doesn’t include any mention of Democrats or GOP, ask yourself, “Do this law/proposal/regulation hurt people?” By hurt, I mean that it hurts more people than it helps. Don’t think I need to explain the rest.
How does this hurt people?
What exactly is the point of making them list the fees anyway? So you can shake your head at the ridiculous fees, ask them to waive them, and they say “No”?
Why is it unreasonable to expect an advertised price to be accurate? If someone says your Internet will cost $30 a month, why should you accept paying anything more than that? A fair market helps increase competition, and is a good thing for all consumers.
