[comp.dcom.telecom] Bob Allen Live Speech FREE on 900 Number

emanuele@overlf.UUCP (Mark A. Emanuele) (03/23/91)

I just got a letter in the mail from AT&T that Bob Allen's live speech
at the AT&T shareholders meeting will be available to the general
public on 1-900-200-2700 at 9:45 to 10:15 am Central time on April 17,
1990.  They say that the call is TOLL FREE. I wonder why they are
using a 900 number instead of an 800 number? They also say that A
recorded version will be available until 8:00 pm that evening.

[Moderator's Note: Callers during the thirty minute period noted above
will be connected to live audio from the location of the shareholder's
meeting.  For the remainder of the day, the program will be repeated
on tape. You may of course dial in at any time, and my understanding
is you will hear Mr. Allen's address from the beginning, rather than
'barging in' in the middle somewhere. The reason for using a 900
number is because of the huge volume of traffic which can be
accomodated at any one time, versus more limited accomodations on an
800 line.  If someone will transcribe the highlights, I'll publish it
in the Digest as well.   PAT]
