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!"
