| Ill do you one better...how about a class action lawsuit for verizons clear violation of the FTCs Truth in Advertising act. This section applies to telecommunications and electricy, so could be applyied here. Under Section E, Other Consumer Protection Issues --
"Billing formats used by electricity providers are often confusing and may be more so as retail competition is introduced. Further, there are many line item charges that consumers may have trouble identifying, making it more difficult for consumers to notice fraudulent charges. In competitive markets, the billing system will have to accommodate multiple vendors, some of whom may offer services unrelated to electricity. Moreover, billing may be handled by aggregators or service companies rather than the utility or service providers themselves.
We would ask your help in assuring that consumers are billed fairly and that the billing formats are clear and understandable."
