Southwestern Bell Announces New DDD Rate Adjustment
Southwestern Bell unveiled a long distance rate change effective September 1 aimed at boosting gross revenue by about 2 percent annually, with higher charges for operator-assisted Texas calls and reduced rates for Direct Distance Dialing and self dialed station-to-station calls. The plan, first major intrastate hike since 1955, includes a one-minute initial rate for night DDD and new rate periods, plus two holidays with reduced DDD rates. H. Schodde projects a $7 million net operating revenue increase and notes the policy aligns with AT&T trends to favor operator-assisted calls. May affect Texas towns not yet equipped for DDD by requiring basic area code and number when dialing via operator.
