But the US Treasury doesn't keep the money, it goes straight to the Federal Reserve.
The question is WHY?
How much money is the Federal Reserve fleecing from America?
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s Enforcement Bureau said it reached a consent decree with Verizon Wireless, including a record $25 million payment to the U.S. Treasury, regarding “mystery fees”

World Series may be blacked out for Cablevision viewers
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11634670
And the comedic control of corporate America goes on., while the rest of us are just supposed to suffer.
Mass viewing of the World Series is being held hostage over a monitary dispute.
What used to be the right of all has now been singled down to one.
And they will do what they want, just because they can.
America where is your outrage?
It could be the Super Bowl next!
Think about it.
A dispute between US cable TV firm Cablevision and pay-TV outfit Fox may deprive Cablevision's customers of coverage of baseball's World Series.
Cablevision's 3m subscribers may not see the San Francisco Giants v Texas Rangers tie, which starts on Wednesday.
The firms disagree on how much New York-based Cablevision should pay to carry Fox on its cable network.
Fox, which owns the baseball final rights, has now been off-air to Cablevision viewers for 11 days.

Federal regulators are proposing new regulations on the wireless phone industry, which would require carriers to alert consumers if they've gone over

Well Hello, here's an idea that common sense says should have been required a long time ago.
Why has it taken so long you ask? Because it's all about the bottom line and how much profit they can reap from it.
Federal regulators are proposing new regulations on the wireless phone industry, which would require carriers to alert consumers if they've gone over their monthly data or text message allotments.
Joe White has details of a new FCC proposal which would require wireless carriers to alert consumers if they've gone over their monthly data or text message allotments. Plus, e-updates for your e-readers and Boeing's new Phantom Ray drone.
.The proposal is similar to rules recently enacted in the European Union on wireless companies, which require carriers to send a text message to subscribers who are racking up roaming charges or getting close to their plan's roaming limit.
The Federal Communications Commission proposal also considers whether carriers should send real-time alerts to subscribers who are exceeding their monthly voice, data or text messaging limits.
"We've gotten hundreds of complaints about bill shock," said Joel Gurin, head of the FCC's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, in a statement. He said the agency is looking at if "there's any reason that American carriers can't use similar automatic alerts to inform consumers when they are at risk of running up a high bill."
