Ameritech is bad news in many ways. They have illegally spied on their
own employees over issues as dumb as vacation time, their billing is
totally screwed up (they have not billed me properly for an ISDN line in
10 months despite repeated claims and conversations) and they are suing
a company over a domain name that is clearly not a trademark infringement
because they want to steal the name. See www.phonebell.com for details.
