The monthly per-line surcharge for the Relay Missouri dual-party telephone relay service for the deaf, hearing-impaired and speech-impaired will drop from 8 cents to 6 cents Dec. 1, the Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC) said in an order last week (http://on.mo.gov/1qXh1bh). The PSC was acting on a staff recommendation for reducing the surcharge, which appears on the phone bills of all Missouri wireline customers. The PSC had said reducing the surcharge would allow the fund for Relay Missouri “to remain solvent and available for those customers who need it, while reducing the bills of all Missouri landline subscribers."
