From Communications Week, June 17, 1996:

            Get Rate Info on Your Telephone

     The FCC has implemented the initial phase of its free
24-hour-ad-day information lines in Florida, Maine and Virginia.
     By dialing 888-322-8255, callers in those states can get
information from staff members on questions about telephone rates
and charges, ask questions about long distance carriers, file
a form or complaint or express concerns about television broadcasts,
according to the FCC.
     The creation of the number is one of the commission's responses
to the passage of the telecom act.  "The commission is encouraging
more public participation and anticipates a growing number of
inquiries," said the FCC's official announcement of the program.
     The program will be expanded as soon as more staff is trained
and equipment installed.  "This is a giant leap for consumers," said 
Reed Hundt, FCC chairman, in a prepared statement.  "They now have
one place they can call to ask questions or voice concerns or
complaints about communication services, programs, or companies,"
he said.
