Bills Could Reaffirm Public Interest in Telecommunications
C L Todd of Southwestern Bell in San Antonio criticizes FCC decisions as harming cost and quality of service. Bills in Senate and House aim to protect average users, promote nationwide policy in public interest, and curb undercutting by competitors in intercity private line services. He warns small towns and residences face higher rates and slower service as competition shifts pricing and direct connections of customer equipment.

One Company Should Handle Service in Each Area Says Todd
The quoted stance argues that Congress chose single company responsibility for each service area to maintain quality. Splitting duties could worsen service while losses from specialized equipment may raise basic rates, harming consumers. Todd urges public input via elected representatives to shape national telecom policy.
