Interstate long distance rates today are based on nationwide averages. This means the rates are the same for everyone whether they are calling from a farm, a small town or a big city. But, it actually costs telephone companies much more per call to provide long distance service between rural communities and small towns than it does between large cities which are the same distances apart. The result is that long distance revenues from rural communities and small towns do not cover the phone companies’ costs. How can the telephone companies provide long distance service between small towns and rural areas at a loss? Revenue from the high volume of long distance telephone calls from and Beween the nation’s major commercial centers is greater than the cost. The added revenue from these calls helps pay the cost of providing long distance telephone service for small-town and rural customers. Nationwide averaging, historically endorsed by Congress and the Federal Communications Commission, has made it possible to offer long distance rates which are the same for all communities, regardless of size. But the phone companies may soon have to lower the long distance rates for big city customers and raise them for people living in small towns and rural America. Here’s why: The Federal Communications Commission recently authorized companies called “specialized common carriers’ to provide long distance telephone services between big cities such as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Those companies choose to provide service only to larger businesses in the major commercial centers. They are able to supply long distance services for less than phone company rates which are based on nationwide averages. To meet this competition, the phone companies may soon have to reduce long distance rates for calls between those same major commercial centers and i increase them for customers in small towns and rural areas. Nationwide rate averaging has made it possible for Americans everywhere to have long distance telephone service at the same low rates. We believe this national policy should not be changed to benefit specialized common carriers and large businesses at your expense. anu (Midd a THE UNITED TELEPHONE COMPANY OF PENNSYLVANIA A Company of United Telecommunications, Inc.
