ATLANTA, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, BellSouth announced that it
is immediately eliminating a fee assessed on its DSL Internet
services. As described on BellSouth's website, the broadband fee
was designed to recover a number of costs remaining from previous
regulatory obligations and other network expenses that increase the
cost of the Internet services we provide to consumers. Since the
FCC eliminated the continuing applicability of many of these
regulations, BellSouth has been able to provide a greater variety
of Internet services to consumers, to which consumers have
responded enthusiastically, and has signed over 300 contracts to
provide independent Internet service providers with wholesale DSL
services. The vast majority of BellSouth's DSL Internet service
customers will see this change on their bills within a week,
although it will take up to six weeks to implement this change for
all of BellSouth's DSL Internet service customers. Any payments
attributable to this fee will be credited back to August 16, 2006.
