Re: in the back pocket True they would move them to base price. But the thing is this. When Sprint, Verizion or T-mobile advertise a $59.99 they all would end up being the same price after taxes since you should always pay the same tax no matter what company you use. Right now a $59 plan could add $5 to $10 depending on what the companies bogus fees are. It would make it easier to compare rates. This is what they don't want.
We shouldn't need new laws to fix this. This clearly is false advertising. |

| I've never had that problem with TM. My problem was them cheating me out of minutes. Claimed i used all my 300 all the time. Moved providers problem went away. All of the fees that were on the bottom line after their rate were taxes in Ohio and the Feds. $5 worth which i never had with Sprint. With them it was also $9.00 plus some per month extra. |

We shouldn't need new laws to fix this. This clearly is false advertising. True but it would be very easy to come up with new ways that are not technically false advertising but are misleading nonetheless. For example, consider a broadplan advertised at $10/month but which rises to $50/month for the year if any calls are made to the support line. All the company has to do is screw up your service once and they'll guarantee themselves the $50/month charge. Doesn't even matter if the company doesn't do it intentionally. The number of customers that make no calls to a support line for broadband for a year has got to be close to zero. |
