Kinda crappy they don't spell it out. Well, no, I guess USF would be closer to +-18%.

Subject: GTT Regulatory Recovery Surcharge 


We've been a GTT customer for several years and on our latest bill we now have a "Regulatory Recovery Surcharge" of 
almost 10% tacked on. We only purchase IP Transit services from them, nothing else, and have never had any fees tacked 
on top of our contracted agreed upon amount. Has anyone else ran into this? If this is a legit "surcharge" any idea of 
why we were never charged for that before? I figured I'd reach out to the community on this prior to jumping to further 
conclusions.
