If this means we can get a digital link for $8 per month, and that is the only charge involved, that's OK. Q: Does the proposed rule allow this surcharge on analog lines to digital carriers to be applied to calls from areas where the $8/month digital link is not available?? My CE doesn't even have DTMF, let alone ISDN!
