Former KCC chair claims TeleKansas II harmed regulation
Former Kansas Corporation Commission chair Jim Robinson criticizes TeleKansas II, saying it freed Southwestern Bell from KCC control until 1997 in exchange for about 64 million dollars in infrastructure and discounted school technology. He notes Missouri’s refunds and large upgrades, arguing regulation was weakened. Finney appointed him in 1991 but did not reappoint.
