    > "We propose to eliminate the requirement that providers itemize discretionary, recurring monthly fees that represent costs they choose to pass through to consumers and which vary by consumer location," Carr's draft proposal said. "Examples include state and local right of way fees, pole rental fees to utility companies, and other discretionary charges where the provider does not set rates or terms directly. We seek comment on whether providers should instead display on the label the aggregate amount of such fees.“

    If providers truly would display the aggregate amount a priori, I would be satisfied. However, it concerns me that the proposal is to eliminate the listing requirements, and they are _seeking comment_ on whether the aggregate cost should be displayed. The listings should only be eliminated if the aggregate will be displayed. Proposing one and seeking comment on the other feels manipulative

      "seek public comment" seems to be like dad saying "you want a kitten? I'll think about it"

    Sounds like a copout to me
