As an on-campus resident at the Ohio State University, I can't seem to
have straight access to MCI that would allow me to subscribe to their
'Call Europe' program (which would save me a lot of money).
Ohio State University has its own campus telephone system, and they
subscribe to U.S. Sprint for long distance services. U.S. Sprint
universally blocked alternate carrier access, so I cannot dial 10222
to connect to MCI; I would have to go through a U.S. Sprint operator.
Because of that, MCI says I cannot subscribe to their program, and to
some other programs only as a calling card holder (the calling card
surchage usually consumes any benefit of a particular program and
therefore makes it not worthwhile).
Is there anything else I can do? Does Ohio State University or U.S.
Sprint violate any rights that I have?
