SW Bell withdraws large rate request in Texas
Atty. Gen. John Hill said Southwestern Bell dropped its $45 million intrastate rate hike and agreed to an $20 million average yearly increase for two years. The deal cuts total consumer savings to about $50 million, with refunds of $2.2 million for roughly 20 days at the higher rate. Hill framed it as a court victory and a test of state attorney general duties.
