Obama Proposes New Wireless Spectrum Fee

Under President Obama's budget submitted to lawmakers, wireless carriers such as Verizon, AT&T and Sprint would be hit with huge fees for the right to hold a spectrum license. The fee per carrier would be $50 million this year and eventually rise to $500 million per carrier, per year within a decade. Users fear carriers will add the new fee to phone bills.

The Obama administration Feb. 26 proposed to tax wireless carriers as much as $550 million per year for the right to hold a spectrum license. The fee would be in addition to the billions carriers have already paid in spectrum auctions held by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission).

Under the budget outline provided by the Obama administration, the new fees would be used to help reduce the $1.7 trillion national deficit. The proposal before Congress would charge carriers like AT&T, Verizon and Sprint $50 million this year. The fee per carrier would jump to $200 million in 2010 and eventually rise to $550 million by 2019.

According to the OMB (Office of Management and Budget), the fees would generate $4.8 billion over the next 10 years.

Alright one more negative proposal like this coming from Obama and I will lose all support of Obama.

I did once get taxed on the tax I had to pay for some charge the government imposed on me. It was the point rule from tickets or something. I got four tickets, maybe five (I think I dismissed one) which amounted to about $1,000 gone for my well, mistakes. Then as if paying the tickets, court fees, and defensive driving fees weren't enough, they said I had to pay an additional fee because I acquired more than five points (which they told me about after I acquired them), which came out to something like $500 which I had to pay in three installments over three years. This is unrelated to Obama, but I just figured I would express my discontent over the ridiculous amounts of fees I have to pay for not endangering anyone on empty roads. I know I know that it's a necessary evil or whatever, but it still made me unhappy :[
