WASHINGTON--An upcoming FCC ruling could free Bells from at least $1 
billion in payments to competitors but may put some phone companies out of 
business while raising Internet service fees.

The Federal Communications Commission is scheduled to vote at its Thursday 
meeting on a change in the way one phone company pays another for 
terminating a local call, although a vote could be held behind closed doors 
before then.
