Effective August 1, 2011, most Alaskans will
see changes in their phone bills as a result of new regulations supported by
the telecommunications industry and adopted by the Regulatory Commission of
Alaska in Docket R-08-003. These regulations allow the pricing for telephone
calls within Alaska to approach the prices that apply to out-of-state calls. An
adjustment to the state universal surcharge that is spread among all types of
telecommunication customers is required to implement this long overdue reform.
Long distance rates
for calls in Alaska will decline significantly and long distance companies have
already introduced instate calling plans with rates
and features that closely mirror their most economical interstate plans.
The regulations
also provide economic support for rural Carriers of Last Resort. This support
will enable local telephone companies, even in the most remote areas of Alaska,
to maintain the essential infrastructure that connects customers to the local,
wireless, and long distance networks.
Your local, wireless and long distance telephone company has more information on
their company website. Also, information is available regarding Docket R-08-003
at the RCA public website, www.rca.alaska.gov
