Recently adopted net neutrality regulations soon could make your monthly Internet bill more complicated — and potentially more expensive.
Every month, consumers pay a small fee on their phone bills for a federal program that uses the money — a total of $8.8 billion raised nationwide last year — to provide affordable access to telecommunications services in rural areas, underserved inner cities and schools.
Now the fee could start appearing on broadband bills too, in a major expansion of the nearly two-decade-old Universal Service Fund program.
It's not clear yet, however, if most consumers would end up paying more in total USF fees than they do now.

More money for Obama’s Illegals
how much of my net access is really for net access as it is....compared to several layers of taxes??
WHOOOAAA!! DUDE!!! They KILT the internet.
This was the purpose all along. We all knew that, right?
Regulate, and steal...freedoms and money.
everyone knew this would happen
The fees will be used to buy obamapads.....
Here is comes, what a surprise. Next will come laws and fines. This is just like ObamaCommieCare isn’t it? They put in these words to deceive like “Affordable” care act when they opposite is true or like this one, Net “neutrality” when it will be anything but neutral. Or the champion of them all “climate” change when has nothing to do with climate but “financial climate”. Liberals are masters at this, I really think they hire people who spend all day looking for the right words for these scams. Like the current arming of Iran with nukes. Iranians have agreed to a “framework”. It’s all these indirect words to sidestep and deceive.
Yes we did.
Which poses the question... Does Obama use pads with wings, super pads, overnight pads or extra long and wide pads? How about scented pads.. you know, it’s somewhat of a taboo topic.. But since you brought it up..
Survey?
That fee might be the main motivation driving this.
With all the money collected over the past decades we could have wired the Earth and Moon and Mars by now! Where the hell has it gone, and WHO got it?.................
