I'll be shocked if it is that low. I would also not be surprised that as other carriers go away, the government raises the fee even higher to 'replace' the lost revenue. Maybe I'm wrong with the year cost per subscriber, since it was based on an estimate of 30 providers, nationwide, at $500 million each, divided by 200 Million users nation wide.

My thing is that my wife and I are already paying something like 14-15% of our monthly bill as fees and taxes. That seems like a lot to me as it is now.
