So what!

Eliminate the USF and the Bells will simply increase their "regulatory cost recovery fee" to offset the income loss.

Until the legal speak and loopholes are closed no one will get a break.

Even once the legal speak and loopholes are closed, we the consumers aren't going to see smaller bills. The regular service price will just go up.

But at least that's legitimate. I hate it when you call up a phone company for a quote, and it's invariably 30-50% lower than the actual bill.

Also, it would get rid of the various $40/month unlimited service plans that actually cost $75/month.

That way you could compare phone charges. I mean, I have to ask, why is there a $6 a month line fee when the company OWNS the lines? That is clearly actually part of the service charge, so instead of quoting $12/month basic local service, quote what it is $18/month...

Doesn't make the ads so good sounding though.

All around, I want a law that whatever you advertise a product for, that's the cash I *pay* when I walk out with it. Not + delevery, tax, surcharge, handling, etc...
