      Press Statement of Commissioner Gloria Tristani
                              
  With its latest tariff filing, AT&T has failed to deliver the consumer benefits
  it promised as a participant in CALLS.  By increasing per-minute charges for the
  same consumers for whom it committed to eliminate minimum usage charges,
  AT&T's new rate plan at a minimum violates the spirit of the reform package.  I
  think we should put CALLS on hold.
