Why is FIDO charging a $50 "Management Fee" ??

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.fido (More info?)

I was told by A Fido customer that an unexplained "Management Fee"
showed up on his statement. What is this?

Was this a new account?

This is supposed to be new accounts from my understanding, especially for
city fido. If he switched or signed up recently, this is the fee charged.
Although he should have been told...

Not sure if this is due to some confusion of Fido changing something.

City Fido did have a $50 setup fee, and this was meant to cover the costs of
number portability (getting your home phone number ported to Fido). After a
while, Fido waived this fee for existing Fido subscribers who were just
changing packages (eg: not involving number portability).

That $50 fee did not apply to other packages.

No, this fee applies to packages whitout montly "network acces" fees (the
6.95$) and to the full control I think. On january when they begin to
charge monthly fees on those packages, this charge will disapears.
