A decision is pending about lifting the long distance phone charges
between Calhoun
and Gilmer counties. Bob Teets, Public Information Director of the
West Virginia Public
Service Commission said "The matter is before the Federal
Communications
Commission. We do not know when they will act."
There has been a two year movement to eliminate toll charges between
the
neighboring counties. The Calhoun Commission formally requested the
reduction
before the FCC after Gilmer County resident Buck White started a
petition drive.
After several hearings requesting the action, it was sent to the FCC.
It is likely the
tolls will be removed, allowing the Calhoun-Gilmer communities to be
better
linked.
