We have a line item of:
"Surcharge to cover the cost of a sales tax being charged against our
fiber connection." Or words to that effect. We don't call it a tax, we
specifically call it a surcharge. I think that several out here do
something similar.
We also charge a $10 trip charge anytime gas is over $2.50 per gallon in
this area. If it hits anywhere close to $4 I'll likely raise that to
$15. People don't like it but they do understand. Especially when
nearly everyone else out here has also put on fuel charges.
The only good thing about current gas prices is that crop prices are
also way up. I'll take $3 fuel with $6 wheat any day :-)

I think you better just take a rate increase and chalk it up to
increased expenses all the way around as opposed to creating a CALEA
charge line item. Adding a fee as a line item could get you in trouble
with the FTC if not approved as a legitimate added government fee
(just my opinion, nothing to base this on other than my gut). Your
fuel and electricity have jumped considerably I am sure. I am
considering a rate increase over these added costs also. I see no way
around it. I have never raised my rates in 10 years. Times are
changing I am afraid.

It appears that it is time to start charging a homeland security fee.
Since we cannot authorize taxes, we can charge fees that will allow
us to mange these cost. By my figures, I will have to charge at
least $1.53 per month per customer. Since this doens't include
dialup customers, my broadband customers will have to incurr this
burden alone.
What are you thougths on this.

That'd be my boss's department. :D

Now you can choose to ignore it, and say a prayer daily that Barney
Fife
or any other LEA officer does not knock on your door
I'd encourage Barney Fife to knock on my door, I wouldn't mind having
his autograph. Remember him from "Three's Company"?
Edit: Apparently Don Knotts died last year. Now I'm sad. :(
