When pressed, the spokesman admitted that nobody actually pays a `connectivity fee,` yet they wanted to prevent the mooching from occurring in the future (presumably when they hit everyone with such a fee). He also called the absence of a connectivity fee for solar customers a `double subsidy` because many solar customers receive rebates to install the panels."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
