From the article:
"Henson said the decision to impose the new surcharge now "is not
related at all to USF." She said she "would strongly disagree" with
criticisms that Verizon was in effect diverting to its own coffers money
that had previously"
If they really wanted people to believe this, perhaps a good move would
have been to not announce both the end of the USF and the beginning of
the new surcharge in the SAME EMAIL to customers.
