MTS seeks rate increases to offset fiscal year losses
MTS proposes general increases for local and intra provincial long distance rates plus specific hikes for service connection charges and private business systems. An interim 65 percent of the general increase would be used to curb current losses. If approved, 1979/80 revenue would rise to 208 million, with Winnipeg residential lines up 1.00 to 5.90 and other areas up 65 to 85 cents. Long distance charges would vary by call type. Copies of the application are available at MTS offices.
