FCC approves new Internet phone taxes

Cell phone bills, even broadband services, could also see hikes in
quest to overcome subsidy shortfalls for phone service in rural and
high-cost areas.

The same FCC order would also raise the share that cell phone providers
must contribute to the pool, though it was not immediately clear how
many consumers would see hikes or how much they would be. That's because
the FCC raised the contribution rate for only one of three formulas that
can be used by cell phone companies to determine how much they owe. If
those companies choose to stick to the two unchanged formulas, their
customers would likely see no additional fees.
