Ohio Bell trims prices on special customer equipment

The Public Utilities Commission reduced Ohio Bell prices for special customer equipment by about 890000 dollars. The order cuts the 75 cent monthly Princess set to 60 cents and the 1 dollar Trimline rate to 90 cents, halves the 10 dollar colored telephone charge, and lowers hard of hearing volume controls from 125 to 50 cents monthly. Commission chair Carl Johnson said the move aims to boost demand while not triggering other rate hikes. Bell VP Charles Esler warned the change may cut annual revenues by about 1 million dollars and questioned long term basic rates.
