Some smells rotten in the state of MCI (a play on Shakesphere's Hamlet.)

I did NOT sign up for MCI for many reasons but I'm wondering for those who did... did they send you a contract with 800 provisions (including presumingly a line that says "for ever 1000 miles we will be forced to impose an excise tax on the miles as a service.)

On my AT&T bill I pay like 75 cents as a special excise tax for long distance. It's spelled out and I got a warning of it in a mailing. DID MCI DO THIS???

Or in the ad did they have a little * or curley cue saying "For every 1000 miles we will have to charge 1 dollar tax."

Curious to know if MCI spell it out.

I don't know if it was spelled out, or if enough people are angry enough that they can file a suit (I can hear MCI saying "Oh it's only a dollar or so.) But it's the principal of the thing.
