As Biden noted, the FCC "proposed a new rule that would require cable and satellite TV providers to give consumers the all-in price for the service they're offering up front." The proposed rule would force companies like Comcast, Charter Spectrum, and DirecTV to publish more accurate prices.

Yep this feels like little more than a publicity stunt so politicians can talk about how they're "reigning in cable companies" while the cable companies still get to gouge us with poor service, monopolies, and sky high pricing on internet service.

How about some real action, Democratic party? Enough with the lip service.
