The Last Word on Cavalier
Posted October 23, 2008 – 4:37 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in WebsiteTwo more letters came on regarding my Cavalier dispute re: Energy fees:
1. Letter from Cavalier – cavalier.pdf.
2. Reply from the FCC appears below:
This is in response to your inquiry, 08-XXXXXXXXXXX. Detariffing became effective August 1, 2001. A “tariff” is a legal document that a company files with a regulatory agency describing the rates, terms, and conditions of the services it provides. Carriers no longer file a tariff with the FCC. Detariffing makes it easier for you to find out what you are paying for your service and what other interstate long distance companies are charging for their services because under “de-tariffing” they now need to inform their customers of their rates for services. Now, you can compare the terms of your service to the terms offered by other companies. This gives companies a greater incentive to reduce prices and improve their terms in order to remain competitive. Some carriers may still be required to file tariffs with their states or to the state they are providing service to consumers. You may review the News Release regarding detariffing at:
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_Carrier/News_Releases/2001/nrcc0115.html.The Energy Recovery fee is not regulated by the FCC. Cavalier clearly states, “…the charge is not a tax but is a fee added by Cavalier to recover additional costs due to increasing energy charges.”
