Thanks Annie,

I would have to agree with lasagna:

 

"Both of those fees are gross receipts taxes imposed on Verizon by your local taxing authority for the "priveledge" of allow them to provide you with TV service in your city/township/neighborhood and passed on to you.  Legalized extortion some would say.  🙂
