FORMAL COMPLAINT FILED

TC97-139 Gemini Companies, Inc. vs U S WEST Communications. Gemini purchases Basic Public Access Lines from U S WEST and eight other local exchange companies in South Dakota.

"U S WEST requires the use of metered, or message-based rate in areas where their equipment allows them to measure service. The effect of this requirement is that our average monthly U S WEST phone bills in South Dakota are $10 to $14 higher than our U S WEST monthly phone bills in the other states and $22 per month higher than our monthly average of phone bills from the eight other South Dakota companies. In each case the service received is identical: basic dial tone with certain screening and blocking features. [Gemini] asks that the Commission mandate the use of the flat rate and eliminate the measured-service required rate." (Staff: DJ/CH)
