They don't have to pass on the fees, it's their choice. Too hard? Charge fixed price, eat the fees and save the troubles. Want to nickel and dime instead? Disclose it then.
- tptacek 3y agoThis doesn't make much sense as an objection. It's not Comcast that came up with the idea of charging subscribers these fees; it's their own local governments, who wrote contracts requiring fees to be passed through to the customers.
- smsm42 3y agoSo your claim is that when the FDA says this: > ISPs could alternatively roll such discretionary fees into the base monthly price, thereby eliminating the need to itemize them on the label. they are lying and flat rate pricing is prohibited by the FDA? As somebody who does pay flat rate (not to Comcast) I wonder how my provider did pull off such an illegal feat. Also, T-mobile (not exactly an ISP but also a telecom) has "fees and taxes included" flat rate, and they are charging exactly as stated. Would be weird if this prohibition were applying only to ISPs but not to mobile providers?
