Bell Telephone Seeks Higher Rates If Competition Persists
AT&T Chairman John D. de Butts told a House subcommittee that Bell Telephone will seek higher rates for home users if FCC competition policies remain. He warned that allowing competition could force costly rate restructuring and higher home bills, while the FCC argues it would create a monopoly beyond federal scrutiny. The report also notes a 1.5 percent August drop in the leading economic indicators index, tied to manufacturing layoffs.
