- 3 - In 1991 and 1992, the Star Telegram offered 4 basic subscription plans, each having a distinct subscription rate. The subscription rate for daily (the morning or evening edition, Monday through Friday) and weekend (Saturday and Sunday) service was $10.95 per month. The subscription rate for daily service was $8.95 per month. Weekend service, which included Fridays, cost the subscriber $7.95 per month, and a combination service, which included the morning and the evening weekday editions, and the weekend editions, cost $12.95 per month. In addition to these subscription plans, from time to time the Star Telegram offered various discounts and promotions to different categories of subscribers. Although the subscription rates were set by the Star Telegram, the revenue generated through collections from the subscribers on petitioner's delivery route belonged to him, not the Star Telegram. In effect, petitioner purchased the newspapers from the Star Telegram and in turn sold them to his customers. As best we can determine from the record, a subscriber to the Star Telegram was required to pay on a monthly basis, regardless of the subscription plan. A small percentage of petitioner's customers mailed their payments directly to the Star Telegram, and petitioner received credit for these payments against his liability to the Star Telegram for the cost of the newspapers.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Next
