They use the same lame reason the bells do. It's in "anticipation" of future regulation.

quote:
This fee is charged to our Lingo customers to recover the costs of certain regulatory and compliance requirements imposed, or expected to be imposed
Can we as end users "anticipate" ass-ish service and deduct $1.50 a month?

Ironically in the bells case, they've been seeing significant de-regulation, so maybe they'll start paying us.

It's more of 'Here's what we have to pay our lawyers and lobbiests, and a slush fund' fee right now, and eventually, it will be 'Here's what we have to pay our lawyers and uncle Sam, and the rest is for the slush fund'
