    Come on Government of Bermuda. $7.00 a month is more than enough for having a cell phone.

    I thought they should have increased the fee to $10 per phone per month. We need more revenue generation. Everyone and their grandma has a cell phone, that increase would bring in some much needed funds to pay down our enormous deficit. My house alone (2 apts) with four adults and two children would amount to $720 from one household, imagine that! We got enough breaks under the PLP and look at were it got us. Not to mention cell phones are a luxury not a necessity, folks! So if you don’t want to pay taxes for it then stick to a landline. I’m sure BTC would appreciate!

    So PLP spends all our money, and now every last time OBA tries to cut back on something Bermudians MOAN MOAN & MOAN.

    Get over it and admit that we are broke. We have to pay to make up for the brainless PLP who blamed everything on Whites while spending all our future and buying themselves nice big houses.

    Those who are suffering the most are you who were stupid enough to vote for such liars in the first place.
