PSC approves new telephone rates amid $48 million annual rise
The Public Service Commission adopted higher telephone rates that will lift company revenues by about 48.49 million dollars annually. President Keith J. McHugh criticized the decision as inadequate, noting it falls 15 million below the company’s request. The PSC rejected a larger hike and will end a temporary two percent surcharge later this year after upgrading 125000 coin telephones to the new dime rate. The ruling followed 16 months of hearings and 10 thousand pages of testimony. For some residential customers the new schedule may lower charges.
