Senate Bill Would Relax State Oversight on Phone Plans
A South Carolina Senate bill would remove state approval for bundled phone packages from BellSouth and others, prompting charges it would curb competition and raise prices. An amendment lets the Public Service Commission handle some complaints, but critics warn consumers lose recourse against anticompetitive practices. Rural providers could set prices without PSC approval if two wireless rivals exist.
