One thought on “FCC rule would force cable companies to include fees in upfront pricing

  1. It’s time for an APR-like “all-inclusive cost” number for any subscription or recurring charges. Annualized total cost of any contract should be included in all marketing material, and any changes to existing costs to be communicated at least 60 days in advance in billing notices.
