Is there some hidden pronounciation rule I'm not aware of? And why do we say F.B.I and not FBI or U.S.B and not USB ?

I know it seems a really silly question seeing the actual situation with the ICE eveywhere on the news... But this really bothers me on why people yell ICE when it's actually the I.C.E :/.

Yeah but modem is different. It's a contraction of 2 words (modulation/demodulation) that's not the same as an acronym.
