I don't see why they can't just charge a flat rate that is slightly above whatever the sum of all fees would be and then they sort it out themselves. Is it actually better for the consumer that they charge us $36.78 instead of $40.00 so they can avoid listing 15 different local fees?
I'm honestly asking because I don't know.

The FTC suggests though that ISPs just raise prices and internalize the fees. But then your price is always going to look worse than the next guy, and you may just encourage local governments to give you more fees for you to bury for them.
