Trends in Natural Gas and Electricity Prices in the District What is Electric Restructuring? • The DC Council passed legislation at the end of 1999 which permits the DCPSC to introduce competition into the electric industry in the District. Since January 2001, you can choose the supplier of your electric generation and transmission services, while PEPCO is the only distribution company. Generation Transmission Electric Restructuring Distribution Utility Consumer How We Regulate Generation, Transmission, and Distribution Services • Generation rates: Prices are market-based. PEPCO procures its power supply through a competitive solicitation under the direction of the Commission and monitored by the Office of the People’s Counsel. New rates go into effect on June 1. • Transmission rates: Prices are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and passed on to consumers. • Distribution rates: The Commission sets the rate for the distribution portion of the bill through a rate case. Questions to Ask Each Alternative Supplier • What is your price to compare (generation and transmission charges)? • What are the terms and conditions of the contract? • Are renewable resources used and to what extent? • Is there a penalty for switching before the end of the contract? If yes, how much is the fee? • Are there any additional charges? • How will I be billed? (Separately or by PEPCO) • What kind of billing and payment options are available?

    International Journal of Advancements in Research & Technology, Volume 1, Issue 4, September-2012 1 ISSN 2278-7763 A Study On Direct Selling Through Multi Level Marketing F. MARY MERLIN Department of Management Studies, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, India. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Direct selling is a multi-level marketing in which the sales force is compensated not only for the sales they make but also for the sales done through their recruit. This recruited sales force is referred to as the participants who can provide multiple levels of compensation. A person's job would be to recruit others to sell their product, and in return, receive a percentage of their sales. The next person's job then is to recruit people even more so below them, and receive a percentage of their sales. Other terms for Multi-level marketing include network marketing and referral marketing. Commonly, the salespeople are expected to sell products directly to consumers by means of relationship through referrals marketing. Some people use direct selling as a synonym for MLM, although MLM is only one type of direct selling Keywords : Multi-Level Marketing, Direct Selling, Traditional Marketing. 1 INTRODUCTION evolution of direct selling.

    DEMAND LETTER TO: ,,-cbER': ........ Counselor William Blumenthal Office of the General Counsel Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20580 DEMAND LETTER FROM: The MLM Distributor Rights Association (DRA) From: Cheryl Gonzalez, President DRA, & Rod Cook, Chairman of the Board DRA 407 Prinz Drive San Antonio, TX 78213; 2410 Cinco Woods San Antonio, TX 78259 ~f::v.: o: SUBJECT: Re:FTC Proposed Business Opportunity Rule, R511993 ~ " Dear Madam Majoras: WHAT IS THE MLM DISTRIBUTOR RIGHTS ASSOCIATION? The Distributor Rights Association is the only non-profit organization in the MLM- Network Marketing category of the Direct Sales Industry. The DRA represents approximately 1.2 million MLM Distributors through the "downlines" represented. It consists of work-from-home distributors in the Network Marketing Industry. This distributor force is comprised of single morns who get to stay at home with their children, retirees, disabled people who find it difficult to leave the house, entrepreneurs with big dreams to take their lives to the next level and others who simply need an easy way to supplement their income in order to support their families. It was founded because of injustices to MLM distributors by immoral MLM companies who put profits in front of their promises of residual income to distributors. These companies however are in the minority as most are legitimate businesses that offer fair and just entrepreneurial ways for their distributors to make extra money. The DRA promotes communication between MLM Distributors and the companies, which is our way of policing the industry and giving the distributors a place where they feel their voice can be heard and they will have people in their corner.
