All-In Cable and Satellite TV Pricing (MB Docket No. 23-203) – The Commission will consider a Report and Order to require cable and satellite TV providers to specify the “all-in” price for video programming services in promotional materials and on subscribers’ bills in order to allow consumers to make informed choices.
