[PRC Press Release] [Marks'
Dissent] |
| 11/1/05 |
PRC Issues Rules to Implement Access Reform Bill (HB 776), rules require
reduction in intrastate access fees (i.e., long distance rates), USF surcharge
to make up for most of lost access fees, rural companies are to raise
below-market residential and business rates up to statewide benchmarks
(equal to Qwest residential and business rates) to make up for some of
the lost access revenue and thereby reduce the size of the USF fund needed. |
