The effective date will be determined later, after publication in the 
Federal Register and OMB review under PRA.


November 17, 2022—The Federal Communications Commission today
unveiled new rules that will for the first time require broadband 
providers to display easy-tounderstand labels to allow consumers to 
comparison shop for broadband services. The Report and Order approved by 
the Commission creates rules that require broadband providers to
display, at the point of sale, labels that show key information consumers 
want−prices, speeds,fees, data allowances, and other critical 
information. The labels resemble the well-known nutrition labels that 
appear on food products.
