X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 10, Issue 591, Message 5 of 5


This issue marks the conclusion of nine years of publication of
TELECOM Digest. The Digest's first issue was dated August 24, 1981,
however that issue was actually mailed August 25.

For much of that time, the Digest has been distributed both as a
mailing list and as Usenet's comp.dcom.telecom newsgroup.

Jon Solomon, was the founding Moderator of TELECOM Digest, and
conducted this forum through the late summer of 1988. I assumed
responsibility for the Digest in October, 1988. Just as Computer
Underground Digest and the Caller*ID mailing list began as offshoots
from this Digest, likewise TELECOM Digest itself began as an offshoot
of the HUMAN-NETS group; and its original purpose was to discuss
telephone topics which had been raised in the HUMAN-NETS group which
were not of interest to most readers there. Chip Rosenthal maintained
the gateway between TELECOM Digest and the comp.dcom.teleom newsgroup
for a few years.

Many of you have been participants since the very beginning. It has
been fun, and the time has passed quickly. The changes we have seen,
documented and discussed in the Digest are rather incredible. But the
changes in the telecom industry in the past decade have been pretty
incredible also. Here's to another nine years of the Digest!

OVER THE WEEKEND: An Illinois Bell service representative, in dire
need of money to pay her bills was bribed to provide some confidential
company data to an outsider. Names and specifics tomorrow.
