(FCC via AP)are launching nationwide on Wednesday, according to the Federal Communications Commission. They’ll feature details about prices, fees, connection speeds, data allowances and more.And the new broadband labels will be required for home and mobile internet plans. “Consumers across the country can now benefit from consistent, transparent, and accessible point-of-sale information about broadband prices and services,” FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in a news release. The labels will outline when promotional rates end, how long contracts last, and which separate fees and taxes are charged.
