I think you hit the nail on the head. Taxes, fees, connection costs, etc, all are methods of maintaining income regardless of the customers efforts to reduce consumption.
You can coun't on embedded beaurocracies relentlessly pursuing ways to maintain and even increase revenues regardless of the customers efforts to do the opposite. Any effort on your part to reduce "revenue" is a direct threat to their subsidized medical insurance and retirement benefits, as well as job security.
