News services file protest against rates
The FCC weighed arguments that Bell System leased line telephone rates would raise costs for small city newspapers and radio stations. Petitions from AP, UPI, Reuters, Dow Jones, Commodity News Services and the American Publishers Association argued the plan could curb news dissemination by forcing higher subscriber charges or reduced services. The April 14 decision deadline looms as AT&T proposes a Hi-Lo two tier scheme with lower rates on dense routes and higher charges on routes to smaller towns.
