Seems to me that all the TelCo 'cost recovery fees' are a separation of their base charges to make the base look lower. This is a fundamental business tactic. Real estate salesfolks will tell you that the additional cost of the swimming pool will be 'only' $x/month rather than the final cost over the term of the mortgage including interest. Food processors label the nutritional values 'per serving;' e.g., 2-1/2 servings in a 5 oz can of tuna fish or, as Coke tried years ago, two 6 oz servings in a 12 oz can. Yeah, right. Smoke and mirrors. Considering the high innumeracy rate in the population it's not a bad business practice, only a bad social practice.
