(VZ) is imposing a new surcharge on high-speed Internet service just as customers were set to receive lower bills thanks to a decision last year to deregulate the service. In a recent notice to customers, the telecommunications company said it would begin imposing the surcharge for all new digital-subscriber line customers, and on current DSL customers with monthly plans. Customers on an annual plan will start paying when their plan expires. The surcharge will initially be $1.20 a month for customers with service up to 768 kilobits per second and $2.70 per month for customers with faster DSL service, according to the company. <SNIP>
They lobbied the feds to stop sending money to the USF, and now we know they just wanted it for themselves. | ||||||||||||||||

I wonder if the word "initially" was actually in the announcement from Verizon. -- Bert Hyman | St. Paul, MN | bert@iphouse.com | ||||||||||||||||
