The absolute balls on ISPs even complaining about that. I can’t even imagine charging people these fees and then basically saying “we charge our customers so many fees that we don’t actually know what the fees are, we just know we are getting every single penny we can put of them.”.
Also the balls on people who are downvoting this post. It’s like these people want to be charged more money without knowing why. Mind boggling how some don’t Like transparency
Imagine if the FCC didn’t say this. How much more everyone would be gouged without knowing why
Agreed. It’s actually a simple choice for them. Either explain every single item on the list, or advertise the real price of their service in all commercials and so on.
I’m guessing that they want to eat their cake and save it. Or maybe more accurately: keep their cake and eat yours…
Providers are free, of course, to not pass these fees through to consumers to differentiate their pricing and simplify their Label display if they believe it will make their service more attractive to consumers and ensure that consumers are not surprised by unexpected charges.
This official response is brillaint. “Feel free at any time to just stop charging bullshit fees.”
The modern conservative position “against excessive government regulation” is analogous to the historical argument that the civil war was over “states’ rights”.
Back then, it was only about states’ rights specifically as it related to a state’s right to legal slavery to prop up their exploitative economic system that perpetuated the wealth and prosperity of the elites at the expense of everyone else.
Now it’s only about “excessive regulation” against deceptive and manipulative business practices designed to prop up their exploitative economic system that perpetuates the wealth and prosperity of the elites at the expense of everyone else.
Won’t ever be because we’re in the stage where everything is marketed as much as possible.it would take a massive cultural and political shift to change that.
The cultural shift will occur, and future generations will be laughing at us for not having it sooner.
Like, why support paying private businesses taxpayer money? The same work still needs to get done, only now there’s a small group of owners profiting from the excess funds.
They don’t have any problem figuring out what to charge me after I sign up. Whatever process they use for that they can use to tell me what it’s going to cost before I agree. Unless internet access is like healthcare and nobody has any idea what anything costs and your bill is full of $40 Advils and charges for services you never received.
