Bell rate proposal slashed by Texas utility panel
The Texas Public Utility Commission cut Southwestern Bell’s requested rate increase by over 80 percent and ordered a 63.4 million dollar reduction in business and residential charges. The panel approved 57.8 million in increases, shifted most costs to intra state long distance, and set new per call and service charges while prohibiting private line hikes. Doyle Rogers, Bell’s Texas CEO, signaled potential appeal as the commission requires updated directory pricing and new rate schedules for ten population based categories.
