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.

      They can’t even keep straight between “science is dumb and doesn’t know anything,” and “libs built a fucking weather control machine!”

        My understanding is most science-denier conservatives think the experts are liars, not idiots. Y’know; all of the “You Know Who” anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.
