On: ISPs complain that listing every fee is too hard, urge FCC to scrap new rule

> They're not "... apparently special costs".

Yes, they are.

> They're taxes that local governments are charging their residents, using Comcast as a bill collector.

Uh huh. But that's effectively the same as just charging the ISP per subscriber, the difference is all perception and inconvenience to the subscriber. Why don't we get line items for the property tax that businesses pay on every bill?

[tptacek → smolder]

Because businesses don't pay property taxes for every customer they serve.
