CFO Discovery

I've been finding myself looking more closely at bills. Wondering where all this money is being allocated to. I found myself wondering. How can a phone bill cost so much? When I discovered something. A charge I never knew existed...$2.50/month for 911 capabilities! Seems like a lot. It's really only about $30/year. But still. And yes, I do want the ability to dial 911 if necessary, I just never knew it cost me monthly. I challenged others on this issue. Wondering what, if anything their city or phone plan charged. All and all it seems that almost everyone gets charged something, but so far $2.50/month is the highest.
