Synopsis
Standardizing telephone rates to balance service value and investment costs
This book explains a plan to set telephone rates by averaging across similar exchanges and adjusting them with bonuses or penalties for each community’s service quality and development. It focuses on making rates fair to both subscribers and the investing companies, while guarding against abuses from competition or monopoly.
The material explores how rate curves are built from typical exchanges, how bonuses and penalties reflect factors like territory, call load, and service development, and how these ideas could be applied by public-utility commissions. It also discusses how to respond to changes in price levels and advances in telephony, so rates stay fair over time.
- How average rates for exchanges of the same size determine a fair baseline
- How bonuses and penalties adjust those rates for territory, demand, and service quality
- How to track costs and service metrics to inform adjustments
- How commissions might apply the plan and respond to economic or technological changes
Ideal for readers interested in public-utility regulation, rate design, and telecommunications policy.
