"...with regulatory proceedings, and other network and servicing requirements," BellSouth informs.
I understand now, this is why my brother has been waiting for over THREE YEARS in his middle-class, well-established neighborhood for DSL service.

While I know how amazingly expensive it is to comply with all the regulatory junk that burdens the telco industry, this really is just a price hike in regulation's clothing.
I'm a fan of -most- deregulation, because I think it helps everyone (including consumers) in the long run. But the telcos are going to shoot themselves in their collective foot if they do this. It's deceptive and they won't be able to use the "cheaper for consumers" argument against regulation if they continue to charge even after regulations are relaxed.
Doh...

IMHO these fees are costs of doing business and not including them in the advertised price is false and misleading. It seems the one regulation we really need on telcos is truth in advertising. |
