How soon we forget ... 

PacBell / GTE's generous "expansion" plan of June 1, 1991 follows the
new geography of December 10th, 1990, in which many local calls became
tolls.

For those with longer memories, you will recall the decimation of
October 1981, where some calling areas shrunk over 50%!

GTE, naturally, has been awarded a 6% basic rate increase in return
for their "gift".


Regards,

Elmo
