Verizon's new slogan

"We Never Stop Screwing You" ... this month they almost doubled the
"administrative charge" from $.40 to $.70 per line. Thirty cents may
not seem like a lot but when multiplied by 50 million lines (I really
don't know how many customers they have) that represents $15 million a
month in additional revenue with no additional cost. Great business.

I suppose we could all get together and petition the government to take over
the utilities. Then we'd have nothing to bitch about

From 'Answers to FAQs' (http://tinyurl.com/2myvrh)

"It also includes an Administrative Charge, which helps defray certain
costs we incur, currently including (i) charges we, or our agents, pay
local telephone companies for delivering calls from our customers to
their customers, (ii) fees and assessments on network facilities and
services, and (iii) certain costs and charges associated with
proceedings related to new cell site construction."
