what is the regulatory recovery and administrative fee?

The Regulatory Recovery and Administrative Fee is applied to your account to recover the costs of certain government mandates and programs.  The Regulatory Recovery and Administrative Fee amount may change from time-to-time as costs to comply with such state and federal programs change; the components used to calculate the regulatory and administrative fee are subject to change.  This fee is applied to each line of service on an account.  The Regulatory Recovery and Administrative Fee is currently $1.40 for voice service and $0.50 for broadband services.
