Re: What's wrong?

Where I live, the city government taxes telephone service, but it doesn't regulate SBC nor does SBC have a franchise agreement. You don't need a franchise agreement to levy a tax on SBC.
SBC should have a phone franchise agreement. They are normally 30 year terms and automatically renewed with no option to deny though. The FCC retains all regulatory authority so the city cannot regulate SBC through the franchise.
