While local rates will rise, long distance
rates should go down for two reasons:
Hie good news
First, because long distance rates will no
longer subsidize local service to the extent they
have in the past. (In fact, all subsidies from
long distance will be eliminated by 1988.)
Second, because there will be more com
panies supplying long distance to select from.
As a result, long distance rates are expec
ted to decline over time.
As this occurs, the FCC estimates those
customers who make more than five 8-minute
calls a month will actually save money on
their monthlv bills.
It's a bit complicated, we realize. And the
courts and regulatory agencies are still working out many of the details. But
