- Canada's telecommunications regulator is conducting a four-day hearing starting today to discuss shopping for internet services and relevant labeling.

- Representatives from major providers like Bell Canada, Telus, and Rogers, alongside the advocacy group OpenMedia, are presenting to discuss a standardized label for price and speed.
- The proposed label, similar to food nutrition facts, aims to improve consumer literacy and control by clearly displaying plan metrics, which Rogers calls redundant but experts call necessary.
- This initiative is part of broader efforts by the CRTC to enhance consumer power over internet and cellphone services through previous consultations on fees, notifications, and self-serve options.
