So instead, we then talk about internet ads. Users are supposed to be anonymous, in theory. Advertisers aren't allowed to have your full address and zip+4, right?
There are all sorts of advertisers who tout their services with an internet ad where clicking on the link takes you to a page where you can put in your address to get full details on what you can get. ISPs can list the base cost "plus associated fees", with the exhortation 'click here for details', and the linked page takes their address and returns a detailed breakdown of their plans with the fees broken out, showing the resultant totals. If it's too complicated for an ISP to break out a fee to show a potential or current customer, then the FCC should deny them the ability to charge that fee. If they can't charge a fee unless they can list it in an itemized prospectus to potential customers, then you'll find that it's suddenly practical for ISPs to list every single fee they charge.
