Business customers with more than one telephone line were to begin paying a $6- per line monthly access to their local telephone company for connection to the long distance network on April 3. Under the iatect FCC postponement, the second three-month delay since the beginning of the year, those charges won't begin to take ef fect until June IS, according to Turner Rogers, vice president of Continental Telephone Cb. of North Carolina Earlier this year, the FCC postponed implementation of a separate $2 monthly access charge for residential customers and single-line businesses. The access charge was postponed until June, IMS Originally, the FCC had set Jan. 1 as the effective date for the access charges that would apply to all telephone customers. Rogers said that the latest decision to delay the access charges was the result of the FCC's inbility to process the volume of tariff filings associated with their order. "With the changes in respon sibility for our costs brought about by the Bell System divestiture in January, access charges are going to be a way of life in the future. With these cost shifts occurring, we feel access charges should be in place as soon as possible," Rogers said.
