Rate cut fight over AT&T interstate charges faces delay
Washington AP Congressmen accuse AT&T and the FCC of an outrageous deception as AT&T reaches an agreement to cut interstate rates by about 240 million dollars next year while FCC allows higher profits. Rep. Jonathan Bingham warns state rate hikes may rise by at least 300 million if approved, hurting consumers. The 1967 ruling on returns could be widened to 8 to 8.7 percent, with AT&T arguing higher returns attract investor money. Bingham asks for suspension of the decision for full public hearings.
