- I have now received two phone bills since my California trip, and the
- charges for my Public Phone 2000 calls have yet to appear. The other
- calling-card charges I made were on the last bill. It will be
- interesting to see when (or if) they do finally appear.
-
- Also in my USWest bill is a notice that, under the orders of the
- Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, tiered service rates are being
- discontinued, in favor of a modified single rate structure. Being in
- a formerly Tier I location, my basic rate increases from $14.17 to
- $14.59. Tier II saw a $0.03 reduction, Tier III was reduced $1.08 and
- Tier IV (which, I believe, is only far outlying suburbs of Minneapolis)
- was cut by $3.31.
-
- The enclosure noted old vs. new rates for business and residence
- service in all four tiers. Curiously, the business rates are all
- exactly three times the residential rates, plus or minus a penny.
