Hmmm, commercial terms, I think that means price and maybe some stuff like is there a term contract with an ETF. If people are buying Internet service, I assume at some point the price is disclosed to them. Is the problem that the words “commercial terms” is not used on the pricing page of the website, so the room of interns the FCC had reading small ISP websites couldn’t find it with Google?
It also seems the “enforcement actions” or “admonishments” are for not publishing the information, as opposed to the quality of the information. Apparently it can be confusing, misleading, sneaky, whatever, it just needs to be there. Probably like that ISP that claimed to cover the entire state on their Form 477 filing, unless somebody in the media or some advocacy group points it out, the government only cares that you submit the paperwork, not that the paperwork is correct or useful.

As the Commission has previously stated, clear disclosures help consumers make well-informed choices about their purchase and use of broadband Internet access services." If you were comparing ISPs based on their disclosures and the one you were looking at didn't have one, wouldn't you just move onto the next provider? If they are the only provider available, would it really matter then?
