Yet I am hesitant to suggest that carriers are guilty of these offenses simply because they inform their customers that a component of their bills will be used to recover contributions mandated by the government . I told a group the other day , without using the name of the parent involved , that one of the fathers whispered in my ear during our embrace and said , these children cannot have died in vain . The promise of the 1996 Act was that rates would come down , not that they would remain the same as the result of secret deals in which one set of federal taxes goes down and another goes up , while citizens are none the worse for the regulatory sleight of hand . We've all heard the rhetoric and seen the full page ads in the daily press , each company blaming another for the current woes of the market . There is implicit in the Bureau 's calculations a set of new taxes that just balances a reduction in federal charges and fees . Finally , I continue to believe that the Commission erred in assessing contributions to the schools and libraries and rural health care programs based on intrastate revenues . One year ago I voiced my concern that rates for many Americans would soon rise , ironically , all in the name of universal service .
