FCC to Ask for Telco Explanation of New Surcharges; BellSouth Drops Charge

Reuters reported that the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is planning to ask Verizon Communications and BellSouth to explain why the two companies are charging high-speed Internet customers a new fee that is remarkably similar in amount to the universal service fund (USF) charges that they passed on to customers until it was withdrawn this month. The companies billed the new charge as a "supplier surcharge" and "a regulatory recovery fee", respectively. The FCC will seek to determine if the two telcos have violated truth in billing, which is overseen by the commission. It is expected that AT&T and Qwest Communications will not be asked to provide comment because they have stopped collecting the fee. BellSouth announced that it would drop the surcharge upon hearing of the FCC's possible investigation of the charges.
