that GTE no longer owns any part of US Sprint or Telenet. To their
credit, they bailed out quite awhile ago (long before the recent PC
Pursuit rate change fiasco). Telenet is owned by United Telecom, the
parent company of both Telenet and US Sprint. I hate to see a good
company repeatedly slandered needlessly... it's not GTE's fault that
Telenet's PC Pursuit outdial manager needs some help (specifically, a
primer in public relations, and an idea of what service he's
selling... I got the feeling that he was genuinely shocked at the
outrage over the rate change).

As for US Sprint, weren't they recently sued for charging for "BUSY"
signals? Or was that some other long distance carrier?
