ARTICLE 7 by Antonio Lubrano

Those 20 cents...

We're only talking about twenty cents, or four hundred of the old lire, but it is a pain in the neck. Why should customers be charged for postage for bills? It isn't fair, it's even illegal. This was the ruling of a justice of the peace in Catanzaro, which sentenced Telecom to pay 20 cents to the customer who sued them and damages for 60 euro.
Thus, since "the cost of issuing bills and consequent execution and formalities of such cannot give rise to a charge for any reason whatsoever," we are authorised to believe that the item "postal charges" will soon disappear from all bills, not only telephone, but gas and electricity as well. Thank God, that's one annoyance out of the way.
