It is. As for now, it's part of your score. And next year, it may change
as with all kind of pricing, as what this proposal is about.

It changes the current charging on your score for the charging by a
fixed 50 EUR/year fee per prefix.

So, when you drew up your contracts after March 2009, you had to
calculate what the effective cost was based on the charging score and
anticipate, that the fee could change in the future.

Where's the problem ?
