SCR 30 - This resolution asks the Public Service Commission to re-examine its decision to eliminate community optional service in rural Missouri.
Community optional service provides extended area telephone
service in rural areas between specific exchanges at a reduced
rate and was initially instituted to minimize the disparity in
the cost of telephone services between urban and rural areas.
The PSC has issued an order to terminate community optional
service, effective March 31, 1998. The resolution asks the PSC
to vacate its decision, to reopen the consideration of the
decision and to hold local public hearings on the question.
