TELL BPU TO REJECT DEREGULATION In what could amount to increases of over a half billion dollars a year for NJ ratepayers, Verizon-NJ and Embarq have petitioned the NJ Board of Public Utilities to deregulate all local telephone services in New Jersey. If deregulated, lack of competition in the local wire-line telephone market will cause the estimated 1.3 million NJ residents who still rely on basic local service to see steep increases in their telephone bills; making these services unaffordable to many low-income families, seniors and people with disabilities. The NJ Board of Public Utilities must stop this ratepayer rip-off by rejecting Verizon-NJ and Embarq's petition to deregulate phone services in its entirety!
