In addition to getting rid of the junk fees, there needs to be a rule about making non-promotional prices easy to find. If Comcast advertises $100 a month for 12 months, they should be required to say (on the same page and at the same font size) what the price will be beginning on month 13.

Poor Comcast. This ruling means they need to create 251 new labels. That is SOOOOOO much administrative burden for their company of 190k employees.
