Mar. 8 -- FCC LOOKS AT SPRINT CHARGES: A new 59-cent charge on Sprint Corp. phone bills will be scrutinized by federal regulators this summer. The Federal Communications Commission gave local phone companies permission to begin charging for "local number portability" -- the right to switch phone companies within an area code and keep your old number. But the FCC hasn't approved the amount companies can charge, so some companies may be forced to issue refunds if their rates are found to be too high. Word is that Sprint's 59 cents is among the highest so far. BellSouth Corp. expects to begin charging 50 cents or less for local number portability this summer.
