Ohio Bell seeks higher charges for service changes
The Ohio Bell Telephone Co asked the state utilities commission for permission to raise charges for connecting, moving and changing service. The plan would lift the $1 change fee to $2 for residence lines and $2.50 for business lines, and raise installation fees in several exchanges including Canton, Cleveland, Akron, Dayton, Toledo, Youngstown and Columbus. Company president Randolph Eide said last year’s costs to provide changes exceeded revenues by $2.13 million, and even with increases the department would run a deficit above $1 million due to wages and taxes. He noted long term subscribers bear less expense, so short term subscribers should cover more of the cost.
