Why should this be surprising?

VoIP providers look to the successes of the DSL & Cable ISP's so if they have been charging additional fees just because they can, why should the VoIP providers think that they shouldn't as well?

Don't forget that this is a monetary driven commodity, so the more that they make the better that they think they are doing.

Until this practice is declared illegal across all the broadband & internet service providers, it won't go away and will likely continue unabated with no restrictions placed on it's existance....

It's up to us to decide if this practice is allowed to continue, not them.

Yes, you can thank that liberal lawyer turned Judge {Green] who helped us out be deregulating the Bells and thereby causing our bills to double and all kinds of special charges be put on our bills for telephone services. The taxes and fees cost as much as the line. So much for his idea that deregulation would lower fees. Just the opposite. Write your congredsperson and demand utility regulation. All this deregulation is good for stuff is just a rip off. That's how it was with the electricity industry and well proven. But we still have this wonderful competitive system in our utilities that is only competitive on how much each one can tack on the consumer bill. That was one reason we had Enron too. They were trading the mythical electricity from the mythical savings of deregulating the utilities. Same old same old. Every time they cut my taxes my pay is less. Same thing with the HMO that was going to provide better service at less cost to us users [or so it was presented by the company when they first began coming out].
