FCC Questions Verizon, BellSouth 'Fee Swapping'

A Reuters newswire article, via CNN/Money, reports that:

Verizon and BellSouth will be asked by regulators to explain a new fee on high-speed Internet customers that replaces a government surcharge that ended this month, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.

Verizon and BellSouth, the No. 2 and No. 3 telephone carriers respectively, will be sent "letters of inquiry" to see whether the new charge complies with Federal Communications Commission rules that require "truth in billing", the source said on the condition of anonymity.
