In today’s economy, the rising costs for everyday necessities can take a big bite out of the household budget, especially if you live on a fixed income. However, your phone remains a bargain. The average price of basic service has risen only 57 percent in the past 10 years, or 65 percent less than the increase in all other goods and services over the same period. And in the future, there will be more decreases in the rates you pay for long distance and other services. In the past, local telephone service rates were kept low through subsidies from long distance. But with deregulation and the introduction of competition into the telephone industry, this has changed. Now, because of new technology, big users of telephone service can build their own communications systems and bypass the public calling networks altogether. Thus they avoid paying these subsidies.

customers who can’t afford to build their own telephone systems will have to go up to cover the fixed costs of operating the calling network. The FCC SI.OO per month access charge will help protect you from future dramatic rate increases, while long distance rates will continue to go down. United Telephone supports this plan. After all, local phone service is still a bargain, and United Telephone wants the phone to remain affordable for everyone. United, we connect you to your world. ■■■United ■■ Telephone ■■■.^Bm United Telephone of Indiana
