Confusion
To the editor:
The rhetoric's roar is re
duced. But confusion con
tinues. Misinformation leads
many to believe that "access
charges" are intended solely
to pay for connecting tele
phone users to the long dis
tance network.
Not so. Here's why.
Over the years, you and
your readers have never fully
paid the true cost of your local
phone service. You received a
subsidy. Long distance
charges priced higher than
the cost of providing that
service made the subsidy of
local service possible.
But no more. Monopoly is no
longer the name of the game.
Competition is. The federal
government, through its
courts and the Federal Com
munications Commission,
says that long distance calls
cannot underwrite the cost of
providing and maintaining the
local systems, now borne by
local telephone companies.
Thus a method, unfortunately
mis-identified as "access
charges," was initiated by the
FCC.

birthday Wednesday.
Mrs. Curtiss was born Feb

continues
Confusion and consternation
on the part of consumers and
the Congress have caused the
F.C.C. to delay application of
the charges. The result? You
will have to pay the piper.
Perhaps twice over.
First . . . long distance rates
will probably not decrease
at least as much as we
planned. Second . . . local ser
vice rates are being in
creased. And lastly . . . big
business and organizations
will build their own communi
cations systems bypassing
the existing systems.
There will be fewer of us to
pay the ongoing fixed costs of
the existing telephone sys
tems. There will be even
higher bills for home and
small business service users.
What's the answer? Not le
gislation, apparently. So we
encourage your readers to
write their U.S. senators and
ocngressmen. Tell them to let
the F.C.C. get on with putting
a process together that will be
acceptable and to the benefit
of all of us.
