Bell Pennsylvania gets record rate hike in 1980s energy costs
Bell of Pennsylvania wins a 207 million rate increase from the Pennsylvania PUC, boosting average Delaware County bills by 3.54 dollars monthly and raising pay phone charges from ten to twenty five cents. The decision, 21 to vote, leaves pay-phone access charges uncertain and faces potential appeals from Bell officials and consumer advocates. The 379 million request exceeded staff recommendations, with the impact spread across 3.6 million Pennsylvanians and pride in universal service cited by supporters.
