AT&T’s $0.61 administrative fee

AT&T Wireless has added a $0.61 “Administrative Fee” to their wireless bills. It’s small, and somewhat vague. But it’s there, and I probably wouldn’t have noticed.

What my mom should know:

• The fee, that is nearly unnoticeable at $0.61 per month, will rake in hundreds of millions of dollars for the carrier this year.
  
• But… all of the other major US carriers are doing the same thing (with higher fees)
