FCC bans cable TV industry’s favorite trick for hiding full cost of service
Cable firms must advertise full price including Broadcast TV and sports fees.

Haven't had cable TV in more than a decade. It's nice to see Comcast, Cox, and Spectrum get a few consequences. I remember being in disbelief when Comcast told me that just Internet alone was more expensive than the TV/phone combo.
Now do healthcare
Won't.
Because everyone has TV.
And not everyone has health to care
This feels more like something I’d expect to come from the FTC than the FCC; isn’t the FTC pushing new rules against hidden fees?
It could be both, but FCC has governance over broadcast and cable TV industry primarily. Either way, this is a much needed improvement in transparency and win over deceptive marketing practices.
I’d just be a little concerned that if the cable companies can find the right judge they’ll get it blocked for that reason
