The Resolution petitions Congress to be aware of the economic impact any change in national telephone policies may bring, with the view of providing complete assurance that its action will not have an adverse effect on telephone rates applicable to the general public." Resolution supports Continental position Manager Jim Butler was high in his praise for the action of the state legislature in passng the joint resolution. "We are extremely pleased that our state legislature has seen fit to approve this joint resolution," he said. Our primary concern as a company is that the public be made fully aware of the damaging effects of competition in the telecommuniThis resolution cations industry. our position fully. supports Butler pointed out that under the present system of a highly regulated monopoly, the percentage of American homes having telephone service has risen from 35 percent to 95 percent. "And the quality has been uniformly and consistently good," he added. He. continued that competition in the telephone industry was tried in its early days and found totally unacceptable. "We had chaos in an industry that by its Butvery nature demands order. ler explained. "If we continue down the path we are headed, wc could very well end up with the same type of chaos w c had 70 years ago." It is noteworthy that Utah is in the vanguard of those states supporting the passage of the Consumer Communications Reform Act of 1977, Callistcr and Butler pointed out. As a rural state. Utahns have the most to lose if it fails to become law, they emphasized. Amid the mountains of legislation considered by the recently concluded 42nd Utah legislature was a joint resolution expressing its "interest and concern regarding the Congressional investigation into telephone competition and interconnection". The resolution, the fourth of its kind passed by a state legislature, has been sent to President Jimmy Carter and puts Utah on record ticnd as opposing the rcicnt toward competition in the telephone industry unless the benefits of sm.li can be documented. a policy It specifically petitions Congress, which is currently reviewing the telecommunications national policy, to "include in its deliberation. a full inquiry into the possible so-call- economic impact of any action it may contemplate, with the view of providing complete assurance that its action will not have an adverse effect on telephone rates applicable to the general public". In addition, the legislature requested the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to "delay full implementation of its policies fostering competition until Congress has had the opportunity to complete its investigation and to develop national policy". The joint resolution comes at a time when Congress is considering entitled "The legislation Consumer Communications Reform Act of 1977. Briefly, this act would reaffirm the Communications Act of 1934 which recognized the tclephonc industry as a natural monopoly. This piece of legislation has been the cornerstone of national telecommunications policy for the past 43 years. In recent years this natural monopoly has been challenged by several FCC decisions which have encouraged competitive practices to enter the telephone industry. "The core of the question, according to Grant T. Callistcr, Utah State Service Manager for Continental Telephone and a spokesman for the 11 independent telephone companies in the state, "is whether this nation should continue traditional patterns that encourage universal service and low basic rates or should these historic elements be changed to reduce charges for big business firms at the expense of the average customer. "The intent of the bill," he continued," is supported by labor, state rcgualtors. the American Farm Bureau Federation and others who sec the public interest value of preserving the traditional struc-tinof telecommunications service. "Unless wc want the telecommunications industry to go the way of the railroads and the countless victims other of government mcdJleing, I ask Congress to give its immediate attention to the Consumer Communications Reform Act of 1977, " he concluded.
