WASHINGTON, March 8, 2024 – Further refinements to consumer broadband labels could enhance the clarity and accessibility of the information they aim to convey, said broadband data experts convened for a panel at the Broadband Measurement Summit on Thursday.

The focus of the discussion centered around enhancing the quality of data and improving the consumer experience within the Federal Communications Commission's consumer broadband labeling process.

These labels serve as tools to assist consumers in easily accessing information regarding the price, speed, latency, and privacy features of available internet service plan options. Internet service providers are actively working to meet deadlines for label requirements, including the creation of a glossary of terms and machine-readable data sets.
