(1) A fee of ten cents per month shall be assessed on each end user connection provided and billed and against any prepaid options by a service provider.
(a) A service provider that periodically
bills subscribers for services shall bill subscribers for the fee.
(b) In the case of subscribers who are not
billed periodically, including but not limited to subscribers who purchase
prepaid wireless telecommunication services for a flat fee, the service
provider shall collect the fee using one of the following methods:
(i) by including in the price of the service
a fee of ten cents for each 30-day period during which the subscriber is
authorized to use the services;
(ii) by collecting the fee on a monthly basis
from each subscriber whose account balance is equal to or greater than the fee;
or

ten cents per month times the number of prepaid subscribers. The service
provider shall calculate the number of prepaid subscribers by dividing total
intrastate monthly revenue by the average revenue for each prepaid subscriber
of the wireless industry.
