There has been some discussion of telecommunications-related topics
recently in the misc.consumers newsgroup, although the level of
sophistication is markedly less than here.
 
Recent discussions in misc.consumers have dealt with Caller*ID and
MCI's latest sales gimmick, a check payable to you that becomes a
request to switch your long-distance default carrier to MCI if you
endorse the check.
 
There are also lots of messages unrelated to telecommunications,
including flames about Amway-like companies and about labor unions.
 
Misc.consumers is worth checking out occasionally, but a lot of
messages there aren't worth reading.
