| How many Customers are involved $6.10 a month for four years is $292.80. Dividing that into $65 million is 222,000. Is that really all the customers they have in Missouri or are they padding the bill a little?
Fines are considered "normal business expenses" by the IRS so they get to deduct them. The the government doesn't get the full amount.

Camden, TN | Re: How many Customers are involved Exactly. At&t probably has 5X that many customers. | |

| | I agree their definatelty padding the bill, St louis alone has 1 mil people and if only 10% used their services it would be 100,000. I know more than than 1 in 10 I talk to use their services. | |

kudos:4 | It probably includes "lawyer fees and other expenses related", so yeah, padding a bit. OR, they expect to loose that many and only have 222,000 left over the next 4 years  | |

Astoria, NY | If you own a business or live in the City of St. Louis, AT&T said it will not pass its tax onto you, because the city did not take part in the settlement.
According to the article, this specifically excludes St Louis from the fee, which I assume excludes a big chunk of Missouri customers.
