True or false? Verizon will start adding $2 fee for paying bills on line Jan 15

Just read a disturbing story at CNET http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-57349742-266/verizon-wireless-yep-thatll-be-$2-to-pay-your-bill-online/ that Verizon Wireless will be charging fees for one-time bill pay.

Does this mean if you use a cell phone to pay your bills you'll be charged $2? Or if you pay your cell phone or phone bill or Verizon FIOS bill on line you'll be charged more?

Because everytime I pay my Verizon FIOS package bill I'm assaulted with messages asking me to go paper-free. Why would we ever do that now?

i'm all for keeping the US Postal Service alive, but I think we'd all like an explanation post-haste, now that the web's aware.

Thanks for any info.
