A quick call to the Business (as opposed to Residence) Business Office
(I forgot this week's acronym!) reveals that the Federal Access Charge
for a 1FB (flat-rate Business line) just went down this week from
$4.82 to $4.71 - a reduction?  I'm impressed!

Currently, the RESIDENTIAL charge, per line, is $3.50.  God bless
