chi@netcom.com (Curt Hagenlocher) Writes: >While not necessarily feeling that a basic rate increase is actually in >order, the explanation for its need rings true (no pun intended). Maybe so, but my understanding is that in order to use another carrier (not your local monopoly), you'll have to dial an extra 5 digits. That's something most people won't do, and that's why I think its a massive rip-off. Also, if they really wanted extra competition, they should allow Pac Bell and GTE to compete for basic hookup, rather than imposing a $17.50 flat rate on GTE customers and an $11 rate on Pac Bell customers. If GTE is that uncompetitive, local should be the first target for more competition. Max max_kislik.es_ae@xerox.com
