UPDATE: Rural Phone Companies Promoting "Adult" Lines Sued
My recent post, Paying for Porn, notes that the FCC is looking into an alleged scam in which rural phone carriers are collecting huge federal universal service fees for connecting long-distance calls to "adult" chat lines.
Ever wonder which companies are alleged to have done this? Here's a list, complete with map, from The DesMoines Register. AT&T and Qwest have filed suit against them.
