                 *  These rates are the average of price cap and NECA pool companies.  Revenues of these companies
                     comprise approximately 95% of the industry total.  The  rates are weighted averages of the carriers.
                     Carrier common line (CCL) charges are weighted by CCL minutes.  The other access charges are weighted
                     by local switching minutes.  Rates for the current period are those filed to be effective on July 1, 1996.
