[Moderator's Note: Just as the last issue on TDD Discounts was going
out the door here, the following arrived. Even though the discussion
had to be closed, I did want to share this important response.  PT]

                        ------------

Recently, Curtis E. Reid (CER2520@ritvax.bitnet) wrote an article
about AT&T considering removing the TDD Long Distance Call discounts.
I posted Curtis's article in misc.handicap (which is also gatewayed
with the ABLED and SILENTTALK conferences in Fidonet).  I received
various responses, including this from R. L. Buchwalter of AT&T.

AT&T Policy on TDD Discounts:

Concerning the May 21 inquiry about changing the discounts for TDD
users, I can say AT&T has no current plans to change these discounts.
The level of TDD discounts is of the many price elements associated
with a long distance call.  We continually review our pricing relative to
market conditions but as stated above have no plans to change the
TDD pricing.
