FCC proposal to require TV providers to disclose “all-in” costs …

WASHINGTON, June 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Tuesday proposed a rule that would require cable TV and broadcast satellite operators to disclose to consumers the full pricing for video programming services in promotional materials and on their bills - a plan quickly endorsed by President Joe Biden.
The FCC's proposal is intended to force these companies to make clear the "all-in" cost to consumers rather than concealing the true price by hitting subscribers with various taxes, fees and surcharges excluded from the promoted pricing.
…A good step in the right direction.

The fact that I used to pay over $200 a month and pretty much every program was unwatchable without a DVR due to the amount of commercials is bloody ridiculous.
