Local measured service: Advantages and implementation

Stanford L. Levin and J. Cale Case

Telecommunications Policy, 1988, vol. 12, issue 1, 27-35

Abstract: The interests of local exchange carriers, regulators and customers are converging on the desirability of local measured service. Competition requires it for local exchange carriers, it solves difficult problems for regulators, and it meets equity concerns of customers and offers them the opportunity for savings. This paper discusses, in particular, the regulatory problems which LMS can solve, describes a new mandatory LMS plan, implemented in the Chicago LATA in early 1987, and evaluates LMS tariff structure changes for the future.
