  GTE Service Corporation
GTE and the rest of the telecommunications industry, reacting largely to competitive pressure to eliminate or at least reduce cramming complaints, have recently taken strong measures to eradicate cramming.
GTE believes the widely acclaimed success of this Rule is attributable to the fact that the 900-Number Rule focused on the problem causer, the unethical 900 pay-per-call services provider, and also required the telephone subscriber to act responsibly to protect the use of the subscriber's telephone.
One of GTE's major concerns with the NPRM is the shifting of responsibility for controlling the use of the subscriber's telephone away from the subscriber and assigning that responsibility to the billing entity.

GTE, before its merger with Bell Atlantic, was the largest independent phone company in the United States, owning numerous independent local telephone properties in rural and urban areas from Hawaii and California to Virginia.

GT&E subsequently moved its headquarters to Stamford, Conn., and in 1971 the company adopted a new corporate symbol that became a widely recognized logo in the years to come, featuring the initials GTE placed inside a blue, rounded rectangle.

 Business: GTE agrees to slamming settlement
But when GTE, the state's third-largest local telephone provider, found itself facing slamming charges, it was able to negotiate a relatively sweet deal.
GTE, which provides local telephone service to much of the Tampa Bay area, has agreed to pay a $209,000 fine to settle charges based on 209 complaints that a marketing company it hired improperly switched customers to GTE's long-distance service.
GTE spokesman Briana Gowing said the company reported its slamming problem to the PSC during a December 1998 conference call, which she said may explain the staff's decision to recommend the lower fines.
