a msg in comp.dcom.telecom suggests that when +1 313 splits (due within
5 yr) the other half will be either +1 810 or +1 910.

I'm hoping that by then we'll be able to have a choice of who to buy
a dial tone from...

Agreed.  According to Telecommunications (Feb '92, "Competitive local
communications: The New Landscape" by R.Holland, MFS Inc.) it should happen
in the nineties, and the Illinois Commerce Commission has already proposed
a telecommunications free-trade zone in downtown Chicago.

Unfortunately, MI Bell is still happily building regulatory barriers to free
trade and a healthy economy... of COURSE they don't want to lose their
monopoly.
