@ar2-4.xx.125.xx.evrt | Verizon's new one Just got this tonite:
Dear Valued Verizon Online DSL Member,
Thank you for choosing Verizon Online DSL as your Internet service provider.
Please note, starting February 20, 2005, you will begin seeing a monthly Tax Recovery Fee on your DSL service bill. This is not a tax charged directly to Verizon Online's customers, but the partial recovery of tax that Verizon Online must pay when they purchase the DSL circuit from the telephone company.
This fee will be eliminated after the recently passed expansion of the Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act becomes effective in November 2005 until November 2007. Since this is not a direct tax but is the recovery of a tax paid by Verizon Online, there are no applicable exemptions.
So, we only temporarily have to PAY THEIR TAXES FOR THEM.

| I'm also on Verizon DSL, received the same message several months ago and have been paying the extra each month. However, I have always wondered who the "telephone company" is that Verizon pays. The charges are on the same bill as my Verizon telephone service, so I have to believe they are paying themselves, since they own the lines. | | |
