U S West also wants to charge for Internet calls
WASHINGTON (AP) - U S West is the second local phone company
with
plans to charge companies that carry long-distance phone calls
over the
Internet the same fees traditional long-distance companies must
pay. The
move could narrow the cost savings enjoyed by people making
Internet calls.
BellSouth several weeks ago announced plans to do the same
thing,
prompting analysts to say it will be a test case for federal
regulators. Less than
10 companies would be affected by U S West's decision, said
spokeswoman
Emily Harrison. The companies have been notified that they will
begin getting
charged for the fees in November, she said. U S West declined
to identify the
companies. ###
