Telephone Company Plans
To Improve Service •
• . . s * , * V • . I ' *
Our request of the North Carolina State Corporation Cora
mission for authority to enforce the clause in our subscribers*
contract for service which provides that we shall furnish service
for the use of (the) subscriber, subscriber’s agents and represen
, tatives only, is in the interest of improved service, conservation
of facilities and the elimination of an unnecessary burden now
borne (by the company and certain of its subscribers/
For many yean we have permitted our operators to furnish
our subsen ben an information service, such as giving the time of
the day and answering other inquiries not m any way connected
with the furnishing of telephone service.
We have alto indulged the practice of many subscriber to
business service in allowing the general public free and unre
stricted use of telephone stations in the subscriber's place of
business, with the result that this practice has developed into an
abuse.
This free use of service by the general public prevails eaten
■vely in our larger dries and is noticeable in public and semi
public (daces In many of which a telephone station is provided
for the free use of the public for advertising purposes. Tele
phone stations of this class are used beyond all reasonable limits
for frivolous and unnecessary purposes and prove a burden upon
the service by requiring operators and facilities which are ur
gently needed for necessary and serious uses.
It is such stations as these that will be effected by the an
Ww* *** ***,
individual subscriber.
The demands upon die operators arid facilities of tha com
pany by reason of the innumerable requests for the time of day
and other information and tt>« extensive and unauthorised use of;
the service in public and aemi-pubfic places, have grown to sndr
proportions as to seriously handicap us in our efforts to render
efficient service to our subscribers who ace paying for the service..
Coupled with this there is such an unprecedented demands
for telephone service and facilities, both for hwsinaaa sad soda!
purposes that we Mt hour duty to petition the Stela
Commission for authority to enforce our subscribers* contract*,
so that facilities now psed for frivolous and uanacemary purposes
aalgbtbt released for a more serious and legitimate oat ,
