    I’m not an expert, but this seems really consumer friendly, and this should go a long way to promote competition in the marketplace. Then again, I’m not an expert.

      Won’t help in communities where there’s literally only one provider, but it’s a start.

        It will probably still help with comparing different plans. I think they should make different monthly rates illegal though. Like a price hike after half the contract is up. Just make it the same motnhly rate for the entire contract.

          It’s a loyalty penalty. Instead of discounts you get fleeced harder.

        How did it work until now? Are different prices for different speeds not a thing or am I misunderstanding what this bill is supposed to do?

      Yes, most of the modern countries have been showing price, speeds, and data caps for plans for a long time. US is just behind the times.
