AT&T Planning Big Price Hike for Call Waiting

David Lazarus writes in The San Francisco Chronicle:

Just as AT&T was trumpeting the benefits to consumers of its $86 billion takeover of BellSouth last week, the company was mailing notices to California phone customers saying that prices for a variety of popular services are about to go up -- in some cases by between 24 and 57 percent.

Gordon Diamond, an AT&T spokesman, said it's just a coincidence that millions of California customers received word of price increases around the same time that the company's acquisition of BellSouth was approved by federal authorities.
