I just chanced across the Telecommunications Issues SIG on CompuServe. They were in the process of reorganizing it even while I was reading, as topics came and went in the menus while I was hopping between subject areas. The first message that I saw was one by Our Moderator, naturally. ;-) It's no TELECOM Digest (not yet, anyway) but it's there. Bob [Moderator's Note: Well hey! They offered to throw my flag when I come to visit that group provided I post a few biased and bigoted messages each time I call on them ... something to stir up the hate and discontent and keep the meter running on others :) Such a deal! How could I refuse their generosity, especially since I am charged with the solemn duty of providing fuel for the flames in comp.org.eff.talk from time to time. Yes, the Compuserve SIG is now open for business. You can reach it by GO TELECOM from any CIS prompt. On my first couple visits there I was impressed by the work the sysops have done to get it set up. If you have a CIS account at least give it a look.

I have two requests:
1) Can someone please use this SIG to slam CompuServe for not providing local
access numbers in high modem college towns like Bowling Green, Ohio (over
17,000 students). The last I checked it was up to ME to get BG folks to
literally sign a petition.
2) If it's legal to swipe interesting postings from CompuServe Telecom SIG
and redistribute to those of us who are not Compu$erve fans, please do so.
(And you thought only Prodigy had its detractors.)

[Moderator's Note: Compuserve claims a copyright on everything
originating on their system, meaning the use of articles here from
over there is very 'iffy' at best. It is that same copyright problem,
along with the fees charged on Compuserve which prohibit the use of
TELECOM Digest in a public display there, although the Digest is sent
via email to the mailboxes of some people at CIS. PAT]
