Gore seeks end to home phone monthly charge
Senator Al Gore Jr proposes legislation to abolish the $1 subscriber line charge on home phones and allow regional Bell companies to manufacture equipment. The fee, paid by most Americans, is set to rise to $2 on June 1, with long-distance rates previously reduced when the charge began last June. Businesses pay $6 per month per line under the plan.
