Telecom readers may be interested in an article that appeared on page 4 of the Tuesday, 25 Nov. '86, issue of the Wall Street Journal on a plan by Nynex to change the method of billing for long-distance service by separating the BOC and LD-carrier charges for each call, and providing volume discounts for heavy users. It's too long to type in, but the WSJ is so widely available that anyone should be able to find it. The proposed change was due to be approved or rejected by the FCC that day, so perhaps someone can post a comment on what the end result of this was. The article mentions that there was quite a bit of opposition to the proposal, both from the consumer side and from the LD carriers. (It takes something pretty unusual to make both those groups allies!) Will Martin
