Statement of FCC Chairman William E. Kennard
Regarding AT&T Rate Increase

AT&T promised to pass on savings to all consumers.  Their new rate plan does not do 
that.  It is in our order and I am going to enforce it.

AT&T promised to tell their consumers which plan would be most cost effective for 
them.  This was not done.  I will also hold AT&T to this commitment.
