If the Touch Tone charge of $1/month or whatever it is was repealed by the DPU,
NET would raise the basic cost of all forms of service by at least $.99/month.
So grumble if you like to grumble, but don't think that under any
imaginable circumstance any telephone company is going to give up revenue.
