FCC Chief Denies Caving In to AT T in Bell System Probe
FCC Chairman Dean Burch says the agency did not abandon its long fight against the Bell System rate practices. He sent a six page letter outlining the case history from 1965 to the Dec 23 Phase 2 drop due to money and manpower limits. Senatorial and House members received his explanation alongside AT&T’s reply promising continued data and surveillance. Nicholas Johnson countered that the FCC has not fulfilled Congress 1934 mandate to curb unreasonable discrimination in carrier charges.
