WASHINGTON (AP)
Americans’ long-distance tel
phone bills could go down
much as $1 billion this year!,
cause of a federal agency’s dg
sion of cutting back thepai
ments big carriers must make
local companies.
The F’ederal Communicatic;
Commission voted 4-1 Thursi-
to order a cut in the charjj
long-distance carriers paytok
cal phone companies tobej
and end long-distance calls,
Long-distance customersi
see roughly 2 percent trim!:
off their total bills by theafi:::
said Mark Uretsky, a chiefe®
omist at the FCC’s Com:
Carrier Bureau.
The average long-disk;
bill for a customer in the Ur:
States is $17 a month,s:
spokesman Herb Linnen.lt
percent off that would sav;
customer 34 cents.
“It’s just a little bitofpocii
change for the average k|
distance telephone custom;:
said Bradley Stillman, leg;
tive director of the Consus;
Federation of America, "lei
glad to have it, but it
nowhere near what custom;:
deserve,” he said.
In general, local phonera:
panics said the agency went:
far, depriving themofafi
price for their service and per
izing them for being effident
The payments, called “acs
charges,” amount to $20 bi
to S22 billion a year, the FI
estimates — roughly the air.
revenues of the entire cable:
dustry and twice the revet,
of the cellular phone busines;
FCC Chairman Reed Hffl
said the FCC’s action is the;
ond-largest rate reduction,ai
cuts ordered for cable televi;!
customers in 1994.
Access charges, whicba
passed on to long-distanced
tomers, comprise about ha!: J
the average long-distance bill
In addition, the access char;
also account for more than
third of local telephone com:
nies’ revenues.
