Those ought to be included in the price. The only exception are optional upgrades, and even those have to be clearly disclosed in advance.

- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoIt's not clear how you would include a per-county E911 fee in any advertised price. How do you know where the person viewing it actually lives?
- SAI_Peregrinus 4y agoDisclose that there's a per-county E911 fee in the ad.
- Mountain_Skies 4y ago>* plus government fees and taxes This is a very common feature of such ads. In small print, of course.
- Adrox 4y agoIf you can’t know the price, you don’t display a wrong price, simple. You either geo-locate, or maybe put the minimum E911? In EU these kind of sheenings never happen. Airplane sites tried with payment fees, adding 40/50€ for ALL providers. EU changed the law that the price has to include the fee for at least 1 payment… So if the cheapest is paypal at 30€, they have to add 30€ to the price.
- gruez 4y ago>In EU these kind of sheenings never happen. Maybe because it's more fragmented in terms of language/culture, so you don't have ad campaigns that span both ends of the continent? The wider prevalence of unitary governments (as opposed to federal systems) also help.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoFor county-level fees (sales tax, E911, several more), the ad only has to "span" county boundaries ...
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoSo I'm in Santa Fe, and I see an ad for internet service. But I live in Rio Rancho (50 miles/80km away). The E911 fee is different in both counties. Geo-locating isn't going to help.
