According to the article: "all charges that providers impose at their discretion, i.e., charges not mandated by a government." So they wouldn't need to include your school excise tax.

If they charge different fees depending on address (again, not taxes) then it seems like the intended effect to provide the actual price the consumer will pay.

This does not match my understanding, but I am not an expert. You receiving those charges is not mandated by the government; rather, passing them through to the consumer is entirely discretionary and often done by ISPs or cell carriers. The article discussed this with the suggestion that ISPs instead simply roll it into the base rate if they do not wish to have to advertise the additional fees. This is exactly what T-Mobile does for their cell phone plans and I love it.
