| FCC charges
The reason they list it as an FCC fee is because it is a fee approved by the FCC.
Nothing is allowed without approval by the FCC first. There are public hearings every time the phone company wants to add another fee to charge its customers. If the company puts a nice spin on it, and no one complains, the FCC says "sure, go ahead".
Have you ever gotten notice of an FCC hearing concerning a request by the phone company to add new fees to its service? I haven't.
So, if you want to know who the real culprit is, look at the FCC. |
