Fooled me. I thought the SAF was paid to some government regulator. Seems like it's just a tacked on cost used to make subscription rates seem cheaper than they really are.

At issue is whether Canada's cellphone providers have misled monthly subscribers by implying that so-called "system access" or "licensing" fees are somehow required by federal regulators. Rogers Wireless and Telus Mobility each charge their subscribers access fees of $6.95 a month, while Bell Mobility recently raised its access fees by $2 to $8.95 a month.

Bastards!
