    $50 charge from spot

    Anybody else get an email from spot saying they were gonna add a $50 charge and another $10 charge? $50 for a service that they say a lot of people didn't choose because they didn't know how good it was. I opted to not choose it because I didn't want it. Rant over services cancelled, anyone wanna buy a spot lol

    Dear shane ,

    As a valued customer, we would like to advise you of some upcoming changes to SPOT annual service plans.

    We are continuously making network upgrades to ensure the best possible service for our customers. To help fund these efforts now and in the future, an annual Network Improvement Fee of $9.99 will be charged upon renewal to customers after the first full year of service is completed.

    We will also be adding Basic Tracking, with an annual $49.99 service charge, to your subscription. We know many subscribers didn't select Basic Tracking at activation because they were unaware of its functionality and thus its benefits. This is a major value added service that is benefiting a large portion of the current subscriber base and allows detailed, pinpoint and near-constant location information. Use Basic Tracking to leave a bread crumb trail of a traveled route when adventuring to add another level of safety in the case of an emergency.

    Sounds like "negative option billing". Didn't the cable companies try such tactics several years ago and the Feds declared that "negative option" billing was illegal?
