Southern Bell Telephone asks the South Carolina Public Service Commission to approve a pricing plan in principle. Proposed changes would raise monthly residential rates by 75 cents for one party service and 50 cents for multi party service, add 20 cent directory assistance charges after three calls, double local coin rates from 10 to 20 cents, and lift residence and business service connection fees. The plan targets about 9.4 percent more state revenues and would net roughly 7.7 million after taxes.
