I just got some dates from Pac*Bell. My CO (the last of the original
Alexander Graham Bell prototypes) will be upgraded in September of
this year, and CLASS will be available in October. This is the first
time anyone has mentioned a time frame. I am told that this will be
the first offering of CLASS in California.
Contel will also begin offering CLASS features in Gilroy (a farming
town 30 miles south of San Jose, which is an overgrown farming town)
by the end of the year. Next year, it will offer these features in its
High Desert areas.
Of course, all of this will be after the big PUC public debates so
what we finally get will be the Pasteurized and homogenized and highly
diluted versions of Caller ID, etc. But at least it will be something.

I just finished reading a submission from John Higdon, who says: > My CO (the last of the original Alexander Graham Bell prototypes) > will be upgraded in September of this year, and CLASS will be available > in October. Well, I guess we can expect the amount of traffic in this forum to decline sharply as a result, huh? Maybe my c.d.t. reading backlog will decrease and I'll actually get caught up. (Sorry, John, I couldn't resist. :-) > I am told that this will be the first offering of CLASS in California. Are there any special (outspoken?) customers which might have caused this to happen in your location, or just luck? Inquiring minds want to know ... (tm)
