"NCTA's letter made the issue clear: retail stores have items pre-labeled, and, under this new rule, they'd need to create thousands of variations of those labels."
That's a bunch of bullshit though. The cable companies use vastly different pricing all over the place, so there's already "thousands of variations of those labels" - in fact I'm pretty sure those labels are produced regionally.
- tptacek 3y agoSo we're clear: we're talking about labeling requirements that can change multiple times within the span of 10 blocks or so. This isn't a regional problem; it's about as local as it gets.
- venusenvy47 3y agoI'm not sure what they are referring to with "label", but anytime I look for Internet service online the first thing they ask for is my address. So they can easily present the proper "label" on the webpage that they show me.
- amphitoky 3y agoso why not regulate the other end too and force more consistency and transparency in pass-through fees as well?
- tptacek 3y agoBecause Home Rule prevents those regulations.
