Can different carriers charge different amounts?

Yes, because different carriers have varying costs of operating due to numerous economic factors. Although the FCC does not regulate the amount of such charges, all such charges must be just and reasonable.

Sounds like to me Cablevision is committing fraud by violating the FCC Rules on LNP.
I would disagree. While to you and me $40 seems excessive, I bet a court (or the FCC) would side with Cablevision. $40 may be reasonable if Cablevision charges only those customers that port their number in instead of charging everyone a smaller LNP fee.

Plus, what exactly does "just and reasonable" mean? It's too vague and so at most, I bet they would only get a slap on the wrist.

Never seen a provider not charge a LNP fee every month. I'd still take them to small claims court--just to see them squirm at spending $10,000 to defend a $40 charge. Maybe even go on Judge Judy.

I know a friend who sued a person that hit his car for rental fees, emotional distress, etc. and won $15,000. The person was broke but when he gets something, he pays for being drunk and hitting a parked car.
