Re: Damn
I pay $49/month for a Local/LD phone service package from the phone co. What do I get billed? Try $74!! Thats $25 a month in taxes and fees!!
The governments (yes federal, state, and local) and phone company know they can get away with it... and the phone company lobbies want to level the playing field against broadband - not by reducing the fees and taxes, but by making the BB providers tack on the same fees and taxes.
Gees.. my phone bill is indecipherable enough as it is. Soon, the broadband bills will be the same.
Time to write your congress representatives about this madness (not that it'll do a lick of good). But its time for consumers to make their point and make it loudly.
