Like nutrition labels on food, “broadband labels” on internet plans will soon tell you how your service is priced, thanks to new rules passed by the Federal Communications Commission this week.
These broadband labels follow the design of FDA food labels and will provide easy-to-understand, accurate information about the cost and performance of high-speed Internet services, helping consumers avoid garbage fees, price increases and other unexpected costs.
Starting April 10, internet service providers selling home access or mobile broadband plans will be required to label each plan.
Ford recalls nearly 43,000 SUVs
Ford is recalling nearly 43,000 small SUVs because gasoline can leak from the injectors onto hot engine surfaces, increasing the risk of fires. But the recall remedy does not include fixing fuel leaks.
The recall involves certain Bronco Sport SUVs from the 2022 and 2023 model years and the 2022 Escape SUV. All models are equipped with a 1.5-liter engine.
Ford said in a filing with U.S. safety regulators that fuel injectors could rupture and gasoline or vapor could accumulate near the ignition source, potentially igniting a fire.
The dealer will install a pipe that allows gasoline to flow from the hot surface to the ground beneath the vehicle. They will also update engine control software to detect pressure drops in the fuel injection system. If that happens, the software will disable the high-pressure fuel pump, reduce engine power and lower engine bay temperatures, according to documents posted Wednesday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website.
Starting April 1, property owners will be notified by letter.
