New York Tel seeks PSC rate hike and pay phone rise
New York Telephone Co asks the Public Service Commission for a 306 million rate increase with an immediate refundable 217 million partial raise. Proposals include 20 cent local pay calls, a 15.8 percent flat rate rise, five minute untimed calls, and monthly basic calls up from 50 to 60. NY Tel serves Newburgh Sullivan and Southern Ulster Counties. General Tel of upstate NY may follow, while PSC reviews Upstate service quality. Mayor Lindsay’s aide said city opposition is likely and the case will be argued before the PSC or in court.
