"AT&T, for example, imposes a $325 "activation fee" for each wiretap and $10 a day to maintain it. Smaller carriers Cricket and U.S. Cellular charge only about $250 per wiretap. But snoop on a Verizon customer? That costs the government $775 for the first month and $500 each month after that, according to industry disclosures made last year to Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass." To me this makes the whole situation that much darker. The government is paying taxpayer money to the information corporations in order to spy on its citizens. Lots! Meanwhile, we argue about how much money healthcare will cost, or whether we can afford to pay for medical care for children. forbes/sites/andygreenberg/2012/04/03/these-are-the-prices-att-verizon-and-sprint-charge-for-cellphone-wiretaps/
