No different to having a hospital bill and it listing different costs in the bill.

Or even a gas or electric bill where they will give you a bill but sometimes break it down, one part cost of gas or electric and the other the monthly charge.

In some ways I see the logic, as many join and cancel for the month so they do not have to pay the rebill fee. It is I suspect even with Netflix people join then cancel, and download as much as they can in the month, then join again and repeat months later.
But what about people going in to a restaurant, ordering off the menu thinking that prices are lower, then later not realizing that there is an extra 10-20% added on the bill as a vague "service fee", and isn't a gratuity, after receiving the bill? Seems like bait and switch to me a little bit.
