Bill To Aid Rural Telephone Users Studied By Legislators
Ohio lawmakers debated a bill to widen rural phone service access including a rule that lines with six or more subscribers show inadequate service. The proposal would require companies to extend lines within 90 days upon written requests and compel the PUC to order improvements after hearings. Fire Chief Carl Baker warned rural lines delay warning of fires, citing multiple exchanges in Crawford County. Reider noted Ohio Bell’s relatively better service but highlighted many small and independent firms across the state. A further hearing is set for next week.
