Students already pay for the "services" we use...a huge number of CMU and UPitt students live off-campus after their freshman year, which means all utilities/etc are taxed normally. These schools also charge their students $40/year (which goes to the city) to allow students to get onto city buses for "free" anytime. Student life is hard enough as it is, This is just an asinine short-sighted attempt to make some quick cash. If this gets enacted universities and students are going to remember it for a long, long time. I'm sure the damage to the city's reputation is going to take a much worse hit than the simple increase in revenue.
I think a major reason they did this was because of customers abusing buy-one-get-one-free offers on smartphones. Under the old fees structure it was possible to buy two and resell/terminate on one device, thus leading to a net profit at the expense of Verizon
short of the difficulty of offline play, I don't know too many people with genuine complaints about Steam. It doesn't mess up your computer, it doesn't limit how many different machines you can play your games on, it allows for easy access to all the software you have purchased regardless of machine or how many times you may have changed "critical components".
Contrast to having to call to beg for more reinstallations for something as simple as having upgraded your graphics card or needing to reformat...
I'm pretty sure a hole blasted through your finger would not be spherical at all...

So I did the math. With technology as we know it it would take approximately 10^45 standard computer hard drives, which would occupy the volume of 1 mole of suns (10^23). Ridiculous!
