In theory they are treated just like any other phone company.

In any event, I am reasonably convinced that Ameritech _tries_ to make it
difficult to work with them - and, unlike the theory, I suspect that it may
be easier for AADS to work with Ameritech.  If this is so, why would you
reward a company that engages in nepotistic practices with your business?
