Earl Sinclair of the Dinosaurs TV show worked for the WeSaySo Corporation.

WeSaySo was able to make up rules and have them apply because, well, because they said so.

AT&T has begun its own version of the WeSaySo approach, in the form of a Regulatory Assessment Fee which applies anynth in which you have any AT&T interstate or international charges on your bill, effective 7/1/2003.

Quoting AT&T's web site: "his fee is not a tax or charge required by the government."

AT&ampT customer service isn't always up to speed on this. In a call I placed today to 800-222-0300, the customer service rep insisted that it was mandated by athe government.

We could ask the FCC to take action against AT&T, perhaps demanding that they train their agents better, or fining them for fraudulently representing that it in fact is a tax. But there's a Catch 22: if the FCC did fine AT&T, they'd just raise the Regulatory Assessment Fee to cover the fine... and then some.

For information on other AT&T recurring monthly and minimum charges, see Att Loyalty Fees .
