Separation of line and set charges proposal by Ohio Bell
The filing outlines separate monthly rates for lines and each leased telephone set. A standard set would be $1.50 monthly, Princess phone $2.85, and Trimline $3.25, all rotary. Standard set rates fall under the company’s Minimum Level Pricing Plan with touch tone adding further charges. Individuals supplying their own phones would avoid the set rate, ending a 90 cent per-set credit. Touch Tone adds $1.50 for a residence line and $1 per tone set, with higher residence rate at $2.75.

Minimum Level Pricing for Communications Systems and Equipment
Ohio Bell tariffs set rates as minimum levels for certain communications and equipment. Prices charged may vary up to twice the minimum level. Pricing lists supplied to PUCO show current prices. At least 20 days before any change, the company must provide PUCO with a new list of minimum levels and proposes removing the maximum level.

Private Line Services Rates Hike With New Function Charge
Proposals seek substantial increases in service connection charges and monthly rates for special circuits and private line channels. A new Service Area Function would cover transmission equipment, with rates based on set type rather than keys used. Common equipment charges for key systems would separate from access-line connections. Some customers face rises, others falls. The interconnecting flat rate for each mobile unit with the network would rise to $2.45 monthly.
AT&T rate restructuring proposal for WATS and 800 service
The Company seeks to reshape Wide Area Telecommunications Service and 800 service rates to align with interstate schedules. The plan would raise some charges and lower others, applying monthly access line fees plus per hour usage charges, varying by monthly call volumes, with separate charges for Dialog Intercom and related systems, airport and exhibition hall service, and OCC facilities. The filing requests the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio to approve the new schedule sheets, with interim measures, and to authorize immediate effect of the proposed rates and the Company’s protective undertakings.
