   Reasons to ditch your land line..!!
   
   1. to get rid of the telemarketers (that don't respect the do not call list), incl., scams, charities, political, and opinion.?? polls (which I don't trust to give any information to now with ID theft problems, etc.)

   - federal universal service fee
   - federal subscriber line charge
   - federal excise tax
   - state and local taxes
   - emergency 911 service

   o - these taxes and fees total to about $19/mo compared to $22/mo for the actual phone charge

   4. you can turn your cell phone off at night or when you need the privacy
   
   5. most cell phone plans have long distance included, so no messing with a long distance carrier or ...

   Oh'well, isn't the above subject tax similar to the telephone excise tax that was enacted in the 1890's to pay for the Spanish American War. Congress took about a 100 years to get that off law books.
   
   Better luck in getting this beauty off the law books any time in the next decade.
   
   I suppose that there are some questions as to what is a personal call and/or what isn't; the definitions could be amusing or .....!!

   Ex-Brit must have not tried to get loose from an AOL account...
   No matter how much you tried, AOL kept their strangle hold of you and your credit card account. It finally took government intervention to get AOL hip tossed to the ground.
   
   Anyway, good for for NY AG Cuomo..... I agree that we need more AG's with steel spines....
