Hi-
I saw in {The New York Times} (Thurs, Oct. 18, 1990) that AT&T accused
MCI of "slamming" over 90,000 AT&T customers. It further said that
these were only the customers who informed AT&T that they had been
"slammed", and that there were potentially many more who didn't even
realize it.
In response, MCI vice president Eugene Eidenberg stated: "Let me state
emphatically that the frequency of unauthorized switching has been
grossly exaggererated by AT&T." (Uh huh...SURE it has! :-) )
So AT&T seems to use the word "slamming", and MCI prefers the term
"switching" ... I wonder why??? ;-)
I think I'll stick with AT&T's terminology...
