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
