A monthly maintenance plan which insures that, if anything goes wrong with the telephone wiring inside business, PNB will fix it ror no additional charge. This can be a real bargain -because we must now charge for repairs. (About $66 per job, on the average.) Why the charge? . , . , , . , As you probably know, PNB is changing to comply with new federal regulations. Regulations intended to provide rnore ajmpetition and onsumer choices.
