October 28, 2025—America’s Communications Association (ACA Connects) released the following statement after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opened rulemaking to streamline the broadband label rules to reduce compliance burdens.
“We thank the FCC for working to simplify and streamline the broadband label requirements,” said Grant Spellmeyer, President and CEO of America’s Communications Association. “The current complex rules have proven to be costly, confusing, and difficult for broadband providers to implement. By streamlining broadband label requirements, the FCC can conserve provider resources and reduce customer confusion, while advancing Congress’s goal of ensuring pricing transparency.”
