Re: New "Recovery Fee" on T1 Contract
That description might have made sense before SBC purchased AT&T. But now they are the same company. So it seems to me that AT&T is the LEC, and the description stops making sense.
Or maybe I am confused.

| Probably some claim to equality involved.
at&t the new name for the ILEC charges a variety of cost-recovery fees to each of it's customer groups including hi-cap (re)sellers. The hi-cap group includes companies inside and outside the collective so at&t charges all equally so it isn't accused of bias.
The hi-cap organization that sports the funny blue 'n whatever logo merely passes the cost-recovery money along just like the competitors are allowed to do.
Does everyone do it? Who knows.
Isn't this a slick way to minimize the internal cost of overhead? Oh, yeah. 
Can you get them for changing the price during the contract? Don't know, but if they didn't alter the price of the service and are "merely" passing along taxes, regulatory fees etc.....

Confusing, to be sure. But, if the T1 is provided by AT&T Worldnet Service, well, they still have to buy access from the ILEC, AT&T Internet Services.
I saw similar when I worked in Shipping at HP. HP buying from HP, and I was shipping for one division, and walked the product across the shop floor to Receiving, which processed the product for the other division. All under one roof.
