FCC Moves to Scale Back Broadband Label Requirements

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28, 2025 – The Federal Communications Commission pushed forward Tuesday what one commissioner denounced as its most “anti-consumer” agenda of her tenure.

“This is one of the most anti-consumer proposals I have yet to see,” Commissioner Anna Gomez said during the FCC’s Oct. 28 open meeting, referring to the agency’s 2-to-1 decision to roll back transparency measures designed to keep consumers informed about broadband plans. 

“The broadband label is about empowering consumers,” she said. “This proposal says you don’t need that clarity.”
