Clinton > Ave., Rochester, NY 14646, telephone 800-836-8080. The zipcode turns > out to be the same as Rochester Telephone Corp. RCI Corp. is a subsidiary of Rochester Tel. As many of you know from reading Telecom Digests, Rochester Tel has been diversifying itself by buying a lot of small telephone companies throughout the nation, operating a long distance carrier, and a cellular phone company. Rochester Tel is the largest independent telephone company and its financial situation is very good in comparsion with other telephone companies. They recently filed a tariff with New York Public Services Commission to offer Caller-ID services to begin on April. I have yet to hear wether the PSC approved it or not. Curtis E.
