Earlier this year, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that all telephone customers must begin paying a separate monthly charge for access lines. The charges are to be known as interstate access charges and are to become effective January 1,1984. To comply with the ruling, we have filed proposed interstate access charges with the FCC. The proposal calls for these monthly interstate access charges: $2.00 for residential customers and $6.00 for business customers, per access line. This customer update explains the reasons for the FCC's decision. What are access lines? Access lines are the lines and related facilities which connect your telephones with the telephone company's switching equipment. Our switching equipment actually sends your calls where you want them to go?to another telephone in your local calling area or to a long distance service. In other words, access lines give you the ability to make local and long distance calls. How are access lines now paid for? You now pay a monthly rate for basic local service which pays part of the costs of access lines. Part of the remaining cost is paid for with a portion of the money the telephone company receives from interstate long distance calls. How does this process work? All the money from interstate long distance calls is pooled. Then, the money is divided among the participating telephone companies The amount is based on how much a company has ???United ??? Telephone ???.System invested to provide long distance service And a company's investment depends, generally, on how much its customers use long distance. In other words, the more customers of a particular company use long distance, the more that company generally receives from the pool to help pay for access lines As a result, heavy long distance users pay the greatest share of access line costs How will this process change? The FCC has said to do away with this method of pooling and dividing interstate long distance money. According to the FCC, a new method is needed because heavy users of interstate long distance are paying far more than their fair share of access line costs The FCC has ruled that all customers should pay their own access line costs. How will access lines be paid for in the future? The FCC has said that beginning January 1,1984, rates will be set up this way: ?You will continue paying a monthly rate for local service. Part of that rate will pay part of the costs of connecting you to the telephone company's switching equipment. ?You will begin paying a separate monthly charge to help pay for the remaining costs of access lines. This will be known as an interstate access charge. This is not a rate increase for telephone companies. Instead, the access charge replaces the interstate long distance support. The FCC thinks that as a result, rates for interstate long distance calls will go down How much will access charges be? To ease the impact on customers, the FCC has said that access charges will be phased in over a six-year period January 1,1984 to December 31,1989 During this six-year period, both customers and long distance companies will pay access charges The customer access charge will gradually increase each year, while access charges to long distance companies will decrease At the end of the six-year period, all customers will be sharing equally in the costs of access lines. The FCC has said that during the transition period residential customers will pay a flat charge of $2 00 per line per month in 1984; $3.00 per line per month in 1985; and $4.00 per line per month in 1986. Bus.ness subscribers will pay $6.00 per line per month for the first three years of the transition If you would like more information about our changing business, and how it is affecting you, fill out this coupon and mail it to the address shown.
