[comp.dcom.telecom] Thanks For Your Help

John Higdon <john@zygot.ati.com> (05/28/91)

I would like to thank all of those who have sent material on Thrifty
Tel via e-mail and FAX. It will be very useful in tomorrow's radio
discussion.

One thing has emerged as something worthwhile. There is an industry
publication known as "Fraud Alert" which is a rag that discusses
security and enforcement issues as pertain to the IEC business.

One further point that I wish to emphasize: In no way do I or any of
my associates condone or encourage fraudulent use of telecommunications 
facilities. When one uses a service, he must expect to pay for it. I
believe this and I live it. But that does not mean that irrational and
uninformed terrorization of people in the name of telecom security is
to be tolerated. Particularly if that "enforcement" is simply a
vehicle to enhance the sagging profits of an otherwise marginal
business.
