[ale] Bellsouth's POTS fees...

[Hogg, Russell E.]

Wasn't one of those supposed to be temporary to pay for the spanish american
war?

Also isn't their a class action going on regarding some of these fees
because the phone company presents them as if they are taxes and they
aren't?

Keep thinking about those fees when you vote in November.
