I could under stand Verizon's point, but if the fee is included in the advertised price it would really promote better competition. Yeah sure my plan is $59.95 but if they were to include the $5 or so for the stupid fees it would allow me to better compare my plans. At least taxes are equal (and thus should be listed separately) so they don't pose as big of an issue.
If they keep going in this direction then the service will be $5/month but the fees will be $87.95.

| For how many year did MA Bell and her subsequent evil spawn operate in a regulated environment without "Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees" to the bills?
Isn't this cost of doing business factored into their approved rates?
Regulatory cost recovery is an already over used "excuse chit" probably applied to every requested tariff increase with every regulatory agency. The truth is they don't know how to compete or adapt and therefore need to invent a billable item to bump up the bottom line.
If the FCC doesn't step in we will someday be paying $87.95 in various invented fees. |

Awesome! Let's slam the lid on this garbage before it becomes even further "Accepted Rip-Off Practice". |
