Statement of FCC Chairman William E. Kennard
Regarding the DC Circuit Order Granting the FCC Motion for Stay
This stay is good news for consumers. It means that the FCC's access charge reform plan remains in effect and long distance companies will see huge reductions in access charges effective July 1. If long distance companies pass these savings along to their customers, consumers will see a half billion dollars in long distance savings.
