Recently I had occasion to call Sony Customer Service in NJ on their WATS
line (800-222-SONY). Prior to ringing, I was greeted by the following
telephone-company-sounding recorded message:

"Thank you for calling. For faster service please press or dial '1' _now_".

Does anyone know what this means? How will pressing '1' at that point give
me faster service? I was unable to discern any difference with or without.
