District of Columbia Court of Appeals September 10, 1986, 85-1662 (Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. v. Public Service Commission)

TERRY, Associate Judge:

This is the first telephone rate case to reach this court since the breakup of the Bell System on January 1, 1984. On that date the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company (C & P), which had formerly been a subsidiary of American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT & T), became a subsidiary of Bell Atlantic Corporation (Bell Atlantic).
