Prices and access charges rise, while choices among AT&T MCI and Sprint expand. Local LATAs divide calls, with Maryland moving to LATAs and new rules likely in January 1984.

The move lowers minimums, ends six month money market certs, and lets banks raise passbook rates while several deposit categories shrink to fewer codes. A Boston bank offered an 11 percent pre signup deal limited to the first $10 million, while overall rate talk remains restrained.
