>            An Invitation For Telecommunications Professionals
>
>                  from TEXAS TELECOMMUNICATIONS JOURNAL
>
>
>  These are critical times for the digital telecommunications industry.
>  We (barely) escaped some terrible provisions of Texas legislation in
>  the House-passed version of HB2128.  Had these not been noticed and
>  opposed, digital telecommunications would now be severely restricted.
>
>  But all 2128 gives is a general outline; the rules we'll really have
>  to live with remain to be decided, largely in upcoming PUC hearings.
>  These issues are too important to ignore - to have the healthiest
>  possible industry, better communication and cooperation are needed.
>
>  THAT'S WHY - you are cordially invited to become a subscriber to Texas
>  Telecommunications Journal.  Your subscription can make a difference
>  in helping build our community as an informed, effective force in the
>  times ahead.  (Plus giving you the bottom line advantage of knowing
>  more about telecom changes and directions to expect and plan for.)
>
>  WHAT YOU GET - The journal proudly offers very little for your money.
>  <grin>  If you are like most of us, there is already more information
>  available than we have time to read.  So TTJ distills relevant stories
>  into a simple, easy-to-read digest format, published only when events
>  warrant.  The goal: essential information without unnecessary chatter.
>
>  These brief and succinct summaries let you quickly review for news and
>  insights into current telecom issues - more information is available
>  on any topic that particularly interests you.  And we will do our best
>  to get answers to any questions submitted by subscribers.
>
>  TTJ is currently distributed online via email; fax or postal versions
>  could be arranged for new subscribers.  A website is being developed
>  for archived and hypertext access of future editions.
>
>  WHAT IT COSTS - For charter subscriptions we are requesting $200.
>  This includes every journal release until February 1997 and all other
>  services.  The subscriptions collected will enable coverage of telecom
>  issues at the PUC and elsewhere.  Fees will also be used as seed money
>  to create the Texas Telecommunications Association - an IRS 501(c)6
>  non-profit professional association devoted to industry development.
>  [Your subscription is also credit for membership in this new group.]
