Plan to consolidate bills trims long distance costs
Consumers could save several dollars monthly under a proposal by AT&T and other carriers to consolidate residential bills and cut long distance charges. The plan would reduce access fees, eliminate a $3 monthly line on AT&T’s basic plan, and shift subsidies to explicit per‑call rates, with local firms cutting access charges by about $2.1 billion and long distance rates likely falling.

Stock market swings amid tech rush and old economy pullback
The Dow tumbled over 200 points for the fifth Friday in five weeks as investors shift from blue chips like GE and IBM to faster growth tech peers. Nasdaq closed at 4590.50 after a 27 point drop while S&P 500 slipped to 1333.36. Volume remained heavy on the NYSE as overseas markets rose. The Commerce Department reported 1999 Q4 GDP at a 6.9 percent annual rate, prompting Fed rate hike expectations despite pockets of tech strength from Commerce One and Oracle amid a GM Ford DaimlerChrysler pairing. Small caps like the Russell 2000 gained, and international indices rose ahead of Wall Street losses.
