All Broadband Providers Have Labels Requirement by October

WASHINGTON, September 10, 2024 - The effort by the federal government to inform consumers about the capabilities of their Internet provider will enter a new phase next month. Under rules established by the Federal Communications Commission, Internet service providers with 100,000 or fewer subscriber lines will be required to display new labels for consumers starting October 10.

Those with higher numbers of subscribers were to begin implementing new labels as of April 10.

This change comes from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which directed the Federal Communications Commission to require ISPs within one year to implement familiar and accessible labels of key information, like pricing and data allowances, regarding broadband services.
