Local traffic? From my understanding of UBS, this charge will be applied
to traffic transitted from Telecom equipment in the exchange, to the ISP
pop in the same exchange.

5c/meg to transit traffic from one device in the exchange, to another
device in the same exchange?

Whats next? Telecom employees mugging people in the streets...

They may as well, both cases seem like daylight robbery to me.
