telecommunications fees
Phone service costs
Telecommunications fees are charges imposed on phone, internet, cable, and other communication services.
These appear as line items on monthly bills—often as government-mandated surcharges like the Universal Service Fund fee, or as carrier-imposed charges for regulatory recovery.
My phone bill has twelve dollars in telecommunications fees alone.
The fees are notorious for making advertised prices misleading.
