Empowering Broadband Consumers Through Transparency

On July 18, the Federal Communications Commission adopted an order amending Section 8.1(a)(1) of the FCC's rules to update the template for the recently adopted broadband consumer label. The revised label template reflects a new Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) application landing page, now available here. This action does not modify or otherwise change any entity’s underlying responsibilities under the Broadband Label Order. The FCC also makes clear that, should a provider be required to display a Spanish version of the label, it must include the Spanish-language landing page for the ACP. This change simply ensures the label contains accurate information; it does not involve any policy change.
