[comp.dcom.telecom] Telecom References in Movies

Dennis Pratt <DGP0@gte.com> (06/03/91)

Other important telecom aspects of The President's Analyst included:

  * All phone company employees were actually PR robots.
  * The phone company had video bugs planted all over the world.
  * The phone company was more powerful than the KBG, CIA, FBI, etc.

I would like to compile a list of telecom references from popular
movies (and what those references were).

I particularly liked the Cheers episode two years ago in which Robin
Colcord (sp?) phones Cheers from a plane (using, perhaps, GTE Airfone).  
The connection was extremely poor, causing a mis-communication, and
leading to the humorous episode.  Sam also implied that Robin used
AirFone only to impress people.

Please email any telecom references from movies that you remember to 
DGP0@bunny.gte.com.
