                                   Charges

Another bit of annoying news from my phone bill: [1] the FCC (Federal
Communications Commission) Charge for Network Access! It's $5.00 for the
first line, then $6.95 for each additional line.

Excuse me?

Is this to disuade people from having multiple lines? Usually, additional
items are cheaper, but I guess in this case the local ILEC (Incumbant Local
Exchange Carrier) had enough political clout with the FCC to charge more for
additional lines.
