Long-distance pricing 1996 - yikes! (Buyer's Blueprint)
Business Communications Review, May, 1996 by Hills, Michael T.
Annual price hikes of 5 to 7 percent continue. In a world without tariffs, can you ever be sure you got a good deal?
With the FCC proposing to end the tariffing of all long distance services, this could be the last year I write this article in its current form. Think about it: With none of the long distance carriers dominant, none will have to file tariffs.
On what data shall I base my comparisons and, more important, how will your organization determine if it is being charged appropriately? Sure, if you are big enough, you will always be able to shop and compare and get the best deals, but I suspect smaller business and certainly residential customers will wind up paying more for fewer choices.
