Those long-distance — rate proposals — Here’s what they mean to you: The B.C. Telephone Company has proposed a new. long-distance rate structure designed to encourage customers to dial their own long-distance calls within the company's operating territory. The rate structure has been. proposed in an application to the Canadian Transport Commission, which regulates the company. Member companies of the Trans- Canada Telephone System plan to introduce a similar pricing formula for long-distance calls across Canada. You rate It would pay a lower OU lala your own calls instead of placing calls through an operator. Within the B.C. Tel operating territory, the proposals would increase the cost of some long-distance calls and decrease the cost of others. It is expected that the increases would offset the decreases, so that no net increase in B.C. Tel’s long-distance revenue would result. Under the proposed rate structure, customers who dial their own calls would not pay a three-minute minimum charge. They would pay o minute they talked* : STATION DAY CUSTOMER DIALED EXISTING 12 3 4 TO MILES Min Min Min Min Min $$$ $ $ Cranbrapk Kimberley 35 35 35 647 59 New Westminster Aldergrove 45 A560 75 Abbotsford ‘Vancouver $5 65 87 109 Vancouver Victoria 85 85 1.13 141 Nanaimo Campbell River 85 95 95 1.27 1.59 Vancouver Kamloops. 164 1.40 1.40 1.40 1.87 2.34 Vancouver Prince George 925 1.75 1.75 1.75 2.33 291 Vancouver Montreal 2312 3.00 3.00 3,00 4.00 5.00 nly for each PROPOSED 23 4 §& Min Min Min Min 84 1.10 1.36 95 1.25 1.55 87 1,30 1.73 216 1.12 1,68 2.24 2.80 1.90 2.85 3.80 4.75 , This would mean, In most cases, that calls of two minutes or less In duration would cost less than they do under the existing rates. : 2 In some cases — particularly in the # case of calls over short distances — f a three-minute call at the proposed rates would cost more than the same call costs now.
