               The mailer also determines the type of media on which it               
          receives petitioner's rental list.  For the base price, the                 
          mailer receives the rental list printed on Cheshire labels                  
          (ungummed labels that are affixed by machine).  For an extra fee,           
          the mailer can receive the rental list on pressure-sensitive                
          labels or on magnetic tape.  Triplex charges petitioner extra               
          fees for the provision of the rental list on the different media.           
          Before August 1993, petitioner charged the mailer, as media fees,           
          the same amount which Triplex charged petitioner.  After August             
          1993, CMS, with petitioner's approval, set prices for the media             
          fees in excess of the Triplex fees.  A mailer determines the way            
          the rental list is shipped, and, depending on the mailer's                  
          choice, Triplex charges petitioner a shipping fee.  Petitioner              
          charges the mailer a shipping fee equal to the amount that                  
          Triplex charges petitioner.                                                 
               As is standard in the industry, the mailer is billed and               
          payment is collected by the following process.  After filling an            
          order, Triplex bills the list manager for the fees associated               
          with filling the order including running, special selection,                
          media, and shipping fees.  The list manager then bills the mailer           
          or the mailer's list broker.  If the mailer uses an independent             
          list broker, the bill is for the listed base price, plus any                
          special selection, media, and shipping fees, less the list                  
          brokerage commission (which was included in the base price).                
          Before it sends the bill to the mailer, the list broker adds its
