Consumer broadband labels will be required for internet providers starting on Wednesday — in many cases in both English and Spanish.
Known as “consumer broadband labels,” the FCC-mandated disclosures must be offered at the point of sale both online and in stores — and in many cases, in both English and Spanish.
In 2016, an FCC advisory committee first released a version of the disclosures that providers were not required to adopt.
Then, under the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law, the FCC moved to implement mandatory broadband disclosure labels and held a lengthy process to design and finalize them.
Because providers will be required to prominently display the labels, FCC officials will be monitoring for evidence or consumer complaints about non-compliance, which could lead to agency investigations or fines.
