This is in fact correct as far as the Telefercio goes. The posted rates state the difference quite clearly. ( I was there recently). I was with Dominicans whi just said that I live there, the lady enquired how long I had lived there and then did proceed to give me the local rate. I dont remember the price as I didnt pay but if I recall (memory isnt the best lol), the tourist rate is USD$10 and the local rate 100-150 peso range?? ( I stand to be corrected). There is a discrepancy but like it was pinted out on a recently discussed thread of this nature, arent tourists in a position to pay more?
I am not justifying it nor criticizing it, there are many different opinions.
