PCMag.com says that those living in Nebraska, New York and Washington are being particularly slugged in fees and taxes. A report published in the magazine entitled \u201cA Growing Burden: Taxes and Fees On Wireless Services\u201d, was compiled over a period of no less than five years by tax experts from KSE Partners, who spent that time monitoring the local, state and federal taxes being imposed on wireless cell phones customers. In the three year period between 2007 and 2010, those taxes and fees jumped upward by more than three times that of the retails sales rate.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/nokiac5.gif"}
