THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DEREGULATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION   BRITISH COLUMBIA

Deregulation has brought about many great changes in the telecommunications
field.
Now the major 3 long distance carriers are not the only story in town.

Did you know that up until now, you were stuck paying for a phone call even
after you had hung up.  You have always had your long distance times
rounded up to the next minute. If your call lasted 1 minute and 1 second,
you paid for 2 minutes. It's as simple as that.

If you went to a gas station and pumped $20.03 worth of gas, what would you
do if the attendant told you that you owed $21.00 because the gas station
rounded up. This is a bit of a funny analogy, but that's exactly what is
happening every time you make a long distance call. 

Now, due to deregulation, there is a company out there that does not bill
you by the minute.
It bills on 6 second increments.  So if you speak for 2 minutes and  4
seconds, you pay for 2 minutes and six seconds not 3 minutes.
YOU ARE SAVING MONEY ALREADY.

Another thing that people do not realize is that all those ads that are
seen in the paper and on television are paid by you the customer. This is
another area that will save you up to 25%.


This is what ACN has to offer:


   11.9 cents per minute anywhere in Canada 
   no fee to join
   no minimum obligation
   6 second billing.
   satisfaction guaranteed.  ( if not satisfied we will switch you back at
no cost to yourself)
   
With all this in mind, I'm sure that you can see why over 40,000 people
have switched over to ACN in their first two months in Canada. People are
fed up of being taken by the big 3.

If you would like further information on how you can become save on your
long distance dollar with the most customer oriented business in Canada,
