...weeks from now. Under the banner of promoting competition in the U.S. phone service, American Telephone & Telegraph, the Bell System, will die at age 107, shattered in the largest court-mandated breakup of a company since the split-up of Standard Oil in 1911. In place of the old Ma Bell will stand the "new" AT&T and seven regional telephone holding companies, all beginning life as giants and carrying such unfamiliar names as Nynex, Ameritech, U S West and Pacific Telesis. The eight new companies will immediately join the ranks of the 50 largest U.S. corporations in terms...
...chunk of the cross-subsidy system is going to disappear, putting fierce upward pressure on bills for local phone services. Regional phone companies stand to lose about $3.3 billion in revenues that they received from AT&T's long-distance tolls when they were still under Ma Bell's roof. Currently, about 37? from each dollar in revenues from long-distance charges is plowed back into the local companies...

...were stunned, however, by its size More surprising, and potentially more significant, was a decision by the Federal Communications Commission. Earlier, the FCC agreed to impose special long-distance access charges on phone bills starting Jan. 1. The reason: when the seven regional operating companies are broken away from Ma Bell, local service will no longer be subsidized by long-distance rates. About 150 for each minute of long-distance tolls has gone to support local telephone service. After divestiture phone users, instead of paying for their local lines in the form of higher prices for long-distance calls, will...
