  I just got off of the phone with South Tel (I use them for calls
within my LATA) it turns out the ATC bought them about two months again.

So far ATC bought ... Telus, MicroTel and several other FL bassed
resellers/ carriers.

How long will it be before we are left with three companies? 

Does anyone know who the top 10 carriers are? I think the top four are:

AT&T    MCI    US Sprint  ITT/Metromedia   ATC might be fourth.
