Why American Phone, Cable and Internet Bills are so High
I've read this same article for the past 10 years now and every time I ask the question: what about fees and taxes Europeans pay apart from their bill? The US system is horrible but I think for a complete picture it would be good to know exactly what taxes and fees pay for the infrastructure in other countries.<p>As a kid in Germany every household with a radio or TV had to pay a fee to operate those devices and there was a constant barrage of ads reminding new households to register and pay up. I'm assuming there are also other taxes that flow into building communications networks in Europe.
