Here in Atlanta, on January 1, 1990, the "WGST NewsRadio Six-Forty
BellSouth Mobility Traffic Center" became the "WGST NewsRadio
Six-Forty Pac*Tel Traffic Center". Access is, of course, by dialing
*640 from your Pac*Tel mobile phone. Apparently Pac*Tel outbid
BellSouth for the advertising. At least it made the name shorter!
