MATTERS IN PROGRESS
4. Wayne Hart’s February 6, 1998 Decision Memorandum re: GTE Advice No. 98-02, Removing References to Payphones from Directory Assistance Charges.
Wayne reviewed the memo. Staff ultimately concurs with the intended result of the tariff advice and recommends approval. Staff is not aware of any reason why payphone providers should be provided with the two free calls per month and wishes to request that GTE explain this policy.
Commissioner Nelson commented that whether or not they get free calls, he would approve the filing. Made that a motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Meeting was then adjourned.
