Message-ID: Date: 15 May 89 13:44:38 GMT Sender: news@vector.Dallas.TX.US Lines: 9 Approved: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-TELECOM-Digest: volume 9, issue 165, message 3 of 10 On the 8:55 EDT 5/15/89 broadcast of "Today in Business" on the CBS Radio Network, it was reported that AT&T is considering "converting" its 40,000,000 or so Calling Cards into full-blown credit cards. This was one of those three-line stories that only mentioned the possibility of more flexible calling, since a full-fledged credit card is accepted by some AOSes. I'm sure that TELECOMmers can think of many other angles to this story. To get you started: would they "convert" the cards with or without credit checks? .................David Marston decvax!dartvax!eleazar!marston marston@eleazar.dartmouth.EDU
