" dent study conducted by the Touche Ross Accounting firm ?t the request of the Federal Com- munications ..omm!ss!onT whicn showed that Western Electric prices are only 72 percent of the average lowest prices of outside suppliers. .That's 2S percent .' lower than other telephone equipment manufacturers. He said if Western Electric is " separated from AT&T, telephone tele-phone equipment prices would seek higher market levels, ther-. eby increasing the cost to provide telephone service. Commenting on the anti trust suit, the Wail Street Journal wrole: "AT&T is indeed i monopoly. But it is a heavily regulated monopoly, pretty much as Congress intended it to be when it wrote the Communications Actofl934. "The combination of regulation regula-tion and astute management at AT&T has given the nation a telecommunications system with no parallel -in the world for scope and few parallels for efficiency. effi-ciency. ' "Out of all this we arrive at on question: Where is the problem prob-lem that justifies risking possible possi-ble damage to the efficiency of a vita! part of the U.S. infrastructure; infras-tructure; damage to the investments invest-ments of innumerable small investors in-vestors and pension fund beneficiaries; benefi-ciaries; possibte damage to an important research and development deve-lopment enterprise? If there is a problem that jvsilfies a!! this we can't find it." Hill also pointed out that divesiinK Lung Lines from the Bell System would mean the loss of long distance revenues that are presently used to subsidise subsi-dise local phone rates. For years, local phone rates have been kept lew by long distance revenues so as to make it possible possi-ble for everyone , to afford a telephone. In Japan, telephone customers pay $3f0 to have a phone installed; the British pay between S&) and $S4 for a residence resi-dence phone installation, and in France 4!X),0C0 people are wait ing tqr. phone service, to appreciate appre-ciate the U.S. system, one would have to experience telephone service in another country., under a different sysem.
