Bell Refund Gets Tentative KCC Nod
The Kansas Corporation Commission tentatively approved a 7.2 million refund for Southwestern Bell Telephone customers tied to a 1986 Supreme Court depreciation ruling. Bell serves about 800,000 customers in Kansas and plans to use the refund to offset a 7.1 million cut in in-state long distance fees, with 36 other local companies also approving rate reductions totaling 8.7 million. The order allows the three largest local carriers to offer reduced long distance plans in 10 communities near metropolitan areas. Bell’s shift to higher charges for luxury services and touch-tone installation aims to finance the cuts, with individual impact varying by long distance usage.
