Want to buy a Rogers smartphone - watch out for the legal stuff

12.31.11: I did a little investigation on smartphone offerings (android cell phones - not Apple iPhones) and discovered this well hidden legaleze.


While Rogers is not substantially different to other providers, it does have some sleazy methods.


The first pic is how you see the legal page ... too small and compact for most people to take the time to study. 
Why different than other Rogers pages??


The second pic is blown up to readable size.


Notice how they indicate one fee is a "Government Regulatory Recovery Fee" but then are very specific to indicate it is "not a tax or charge the government requires Rogers to collect".


Didn't we used to call this gobledegook??
