PSC Increases Local Toll Calls In Rochester Area
Albany AP notes the Public Service Commission approved a ten cent local call rate for Rochester area pay phones, the first such increase in New York. New York Telephone Company will adopt five to seven cent changes for public calls, with fall implementation and potential statewide coin-box rate shifts. The decision links to Rochester Telephone Corp revenue needs and a broader move to adjust coinphone charges. Commissioner Glen R. Sedlakap writes the plan shifts burden to subscribers and reduces other revenue needs, amid debate over impact on rates.
