Time Warner adding "cable modem rental fee"

http://j.mp/SXTVm9  (New York Times)

   "Time Warner Cable, the big broadband and cable provider, is planning
    to start charging customers a monthly fee of $3.95 for renting a cable
    modem from the company. It said in notifications mailed to customers
    this week that the new fee would go into effect over the next two
    months."

Has anyone received official notification of this outside the New York
area?  Thanks.
