dont people pay tax on their phone bills for 911?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1999183 [ link to www.usnews.com] FCC has us paying for low income people's cell phones though. I'm sure 911 is included. Whether you knew it or not, if you have a cell phone, you've been footing the bill for a mobile device for a low-income family. The "Federal Universal Service Charge" is often lumped in with other carrier fees at the bottom of your monthly cell phone bill, usually amounting to a couple of bucks a month.
That money is pooled into a fund disbursed by the FCC to cell phone carriers who provide free or low-cost cellphones for families who qualify for other federal benefits, such as food stamps or welfare.in the town in live in in Michigan - we also pay for 911 in our property taxes. If you have a land line you also pay for it in there....I wonder where all that $ is going? Homeland Security - incase of emergency. I'm sure they have thier savings they make from us - to pay for their plans to "take care' of us (US).
