said by ArizonaSteve:So Mediacom is running the same scam as the phone companies where they charge you NOT to publish your number? That's another reason to hate Mediacom I guess.
While you may find fault with Mediacom, why should they cut off a revenue source that all the other telecommunication companies are availing themselves of? What would be needed is statewide bans of such practices, but good luck trying to get all states to pass laws, let alone a Federal law, prohibiting this billing.
