Either you have inside information, or your reading something into
the messages which really isn't there.  Telenet has said that users
will receive a bill on or about the 15th of the following month which
says how many hours you are billed for.  They have not said what form
this billing will take.  There have been many messages which ask for
just such a detailed billing procedure, but none from Telenet.

I think it is valid to question the form of the new bills.  A
bill which simply lists total hours and cost due is unacceptable.
Would you pay a phone bill which said "By mah reckonin' you dun 40
hours of phone callin'.  You owes me $75."?

The point is exaggerated, but it is still an unanswered issue.
