The rationale for local measured service

Joseph P. Fuhr

Telecommunications Policy, 1986, vol. 10, issue 3, 193-194

Abstract: This article argues the case for a programme of charging telephone customers for their actual usage of the telephone system. The author compares the telephone to other public utilities and shows the inefficiencies which have arisen from the current flat-rate system. Flat-rate service should be provided as an option for consumers, but only in such a way that low-volume users do not subsidize high-volume users.
