/***** whuxh:pr.presstp / mhwpd!prnews / 10:45 am Oct 27, 1983*/ CHOOSE--OR ELSE, Forbes, 11/7/83, p. 166. The phone companies figure that half or more of their customers won't designate long-distance call carriers in the first months of the new system, effective late in 1984. AT&T-C wants those calls, and as the only truly nationwide carrier, is likely to get them by default. MCI and Sprint say that's uncompetitive. MCI wants to divy up nondesignated calls among competing carriers. Pacific Telesis has a solution: block long-distance calls placed by anyone who won't designate a carrier. The point? "You've got a choice. You will make it--or else!" /* ---------- */
