Dual Listings Planned By Chesapeake And Potomac Co
West Virginia customers may receive dual listings starting August 9 if the Public Service Commission approves. Spokesman Cam Sellers said existing telephone customers will pay 7 dollars for dual listings with no monthly charge for the service. The policy targets households sharing the same surname at one address and would allow lines like Dec John and Mary on one entry.
