KCC Drops In-State Long Distance Access Charge
Kansas Corporation Commission tentatively ruled against a monthly in-state access charge by Southwestern Bell for long distance use. The decision, part of a larger rate case totaling 204.5 million dollars, aims to shield residential and business customers from a 2 dollar and 6 dollar monthly fee for access to interexchange networks within Kansas. The panel said charges should not fall on all customers for a service some may not use.
