Sprint Revises Regulatory Fees
Change in Terms?

Both Verizon and Sprint have done this exact same thing when there were material changes (much like I believe now) in the past.
I'd even wager the representative you spoke to had no idea what you were even talking about - and consequently, probably assumed you were lying or a scammer (if the representatives here are any indicator).

These are so called state/fed taxes that they are changing the way they bill.
These new fees are not taxes, and aren't required to be collected by Sprint.
It stands to reason if you sign a contract agreeing to pay one set of fees and later the contract is revised to change those fees - it is a revision requiring mutual consent.

Is this considered a change of TOS and now they have to let people out of their contracts without penalty? If it is, they just keep shooting themselves in the foot. Let the bleeding continue!
Only if the new fee's cause your monthly bill to be HIGHER than it is due to the taxes/fee's/surcharges change, will you be allowed to void out of your contract...
with 95% of most customers seeing a small bill decrease, and taxes/surcharges/fee's section being simplified, I would say that this isn't that bad of a move by Sprint...
People are so hyped up to bash Sprint, they never really look at the major things which in this instance are:
* Bill will probably be lower
* More simplified taxes/...
