[comp.dcom.telecom] MCI Eliminates Mercury

erhall@labrea.stanford.edu (03/31/91)

The advertising people have done it again!  First AT&T gave Fiji an
NPA areacode ("Baku Vinaku Beachside").  Now MCI has eliminated
British Telecom's domestic competition.

In a "Friends and Family" television commercial I saw 2 nights ago, a
British-accented woman in the commercial says: "In England, there's
only one phone company.  In America, we get a choice - and a better
hamburger."

(But, can MCI give us decent Fish and Chips?)
