North Carolina firms approved higher intrastate toll rates
More than 30 North Carolina telephone companies were ordered to raise intrastate toll rates to match Southern Bell's charges. The Utilities Commission seeks uniform rates after an August decision that boosted Southern Bell. The move affects General Telephone Co. of the Southeast, North Carolina Telephone Co., and Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Co., which must file data on revenue impacts.
