AT&T seeks rate cut on Kansas long distance calls
AT&T filed with the Kansas Corporation Commission to lower long distance rates within Kansas reflecting tax changes. If approved, the 1.9 percent cut would take effect Sept. 1 for AT&T long distance WATS and 800 service. The proposal follows a July 1 price drop of about 2.6 percent due to reduced access charges. A one time bill discount of about 5.69 percent for three months starting in October will also be passed to Kansas customers, tied to tax reform.
