	No. 03-897: N.C. Payphone v. FCC - Opposition
		But while LEC-owned payphone operations were assured of recovering their costs by virtue of the subsidies built into the regulatory system, payphone service providers (PSPs) that were independent of the LECs had no such assurance.
		Payphone service providers, or PSPs, were thus free to set the rate at whatever level they believed the market would bear.
		To be sure, the number of payphones deployed throughout the country has dropped, but that is due in far greater likelihood to the increasing prevalence of ubiquitous cellular phone service than to above-cost line rates in a relatively minor segment of the payphone market.

	Consumers Union warns against hikes in payphone charges
		AUSTIN, TX - In response to a petition by the Texas Payphone Association to allow payphone operators to charge for local calls based on the length of the call, Consumers Union today urged the Public Utility Commission to maintain its current prohibition on time sensitivity in local payphone pricing.
		Removing the prohibition on pricing payphone calls by time has the same effect as increasing the price of many payphone calls without the publicity that would come from a flat rate increase to 75 cents or a dollar, CU senior policy analyst Janee Briesemeister said.
		Such low-income families depend on payphones for their day-to-day business, often with little control over the length of the essential calls.
