These sound like your typical BS "authorized fees" many carriers at all
levels love to levy. They're basically attempting to itemize various
regulatory (i.e. regulations they have to comply with just like any
business would) overhead and pass it on to you directly. Cable
companies and incumbent telecoms love to do this since it's a way to
make more money without raising base rates that they actually have to
quote to people.
They were probably described deep in the bowels of your contract. If
not...you might be able to get out of them.
