Of course fees are covered. My point is that I have been seeing articles in the press, including highly regarded newspaps and international coverage, that mention taxes but not fees. I believe that disclosure of fees is the more significant portion of the legislation as taxes tend to be independent of the carrier as well as not under the control of the carrier and not accruing to the carrier.
