| By all means, a company should be able to charge cost of service. Or they will go belly up.
But what they need to do is be up front about it all. Instead of saying "we charge 25 dollars a month" and then add bogus fees that often add up to another 20 dollars or more, that are decsysed as (very bogus) government mandated fees. Tell us the cost per month is 45 dollars. Not 25. Then MAYBE we will not all be sticker shocked and pissed off.

What happened to Operational Expenditures? At this rate the only thing AT&T is having to pay are salaries, income taxes, health care, and retirement plans. You never really have to pay the costs of operating if you tack on fees. I doubt that what little fees Callvantage users are acquiring. You realize the only thing that they're providing is the ATA, a number, and some e911 magic. Yes it's coming over their pipe and routed to your connection but. |
