Today's Toronto Star (February 5th) has an article on the front page
of the Business section (D1) about a court order that the federal
Competition Bureau has slapped on Bell Mobility for misrepresenting the
'system access fee' as being a government-imposed charge.
It isn't. The cell companies pocket 100% of the fee, which the
article says adds up to nearly a billion extra dollars in revenue
annually amongst the the major carriers.
Neither Telus nor Robbers are commenting on whether they've also
received such court orders.

Note that the court order alleges that the companies have to change
the way they represent the fee to customers, not remove it.
