Just received a mobile phone bill:
| Subtotal | $39.99 |
| Universal Connectivity Charge | $0.99 |
| Local Wireless Surcharge | $0.30 |
| Mctd Surcharge | $0.35 |
| Federal Tax | $1.33 |
| St Wireless Comm Surcharge | $1.20 |
| Sales Tax | $3.21 |
| Telecom Excise Tax | $1.40 |
| Total | $48.77 |
22% in various surcharges and taxes! What’s more, when I started this thing they weren’t charging any tax, just in the last two months have they been doing this. Classic bait-and-switch technique. Bastards.
