According to T-Mobile's website, the Regulatory Programs component of the fee helps the company 'defray costs for funding and complying with government mandates, programs and obligations.' The Telco Recovery part of the fee helps T-Mobile pay for 'costs and charges' imposed by other carriers for the delivery of calls.
To conceal these illegal fees, T-Mobile includes the RPTR Fee in the section of their customer's monthly bill that bundles this fee with 'Government Taxes and Fees' to disguise it as a required government charge.
