The local free newspaper at Aberdeen Proving Ground today carried a
story about the costs of telephone service. In summary, it reported
that the APG telephone bill averages about $25,000 per month. Other
public sources have put the number of personnel at APG at approximately
12,000. There are three or four major laboratories at APG and several
other important activities.
I'd like comparative information for commercial and industrial
organizations of a similar size. The total telecommunications
(excluding datacom) bill for a typical month or year, the size of the
organization, and the type of work that it does.
As usual, if there are sufficient responses, I'll post a table to the
distribution.
Thanks,
