Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Va.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), and Al Franken (D-Minn.) are asking the Federal Communications Commission to investigate high prices by cable and broadband providers. “In addition to steeply rising prices, consumers are often unaware of the various fees that are tacked onto their monthly bills because of the lack of transparency in pricing,” the lawmaker say in a letter to the FCC.
