[mod.telecom] NYNEX billing plan rejected

goldstein@derep.DEC.COM.UUCP (12/11/86)

The FCC ignominiously rejected the NYNEX proposed access charge billing
plan.  The plan would have moved the originating-side interstate access
allocation from the long distance carrier (it's about 4c/minute of all
calls) to the end user.  There would have been a sliding scale discount,
so big users would pay less.  Billing would have been a nightmare.

Stay tuned for more weird billing schemes.
