Walt must be spinning in his grave. First, Vista Telephone is the LEC for Disney world, so the phones are NOT COCOTs. Disney World is a politically independent entity in Florida and not responsible to the county or any other political sub-division of the state. Like many communities, they have a private phone company. Second, I doubt Walt would ber too concerned. He had no problem with the idea of turning a profit and Disneyland had similar corporate sponsorship setups long before he died. I remeber the Monsanto Chemical and AT&T setups in Tomorrowland back in 1962 quite well. R.
