[comp.dcom.telecom] Sprint & Working Assets

I've been seeing ads lately for Working Assets Long Distance, which
"uses the fiber optic network of U.S. Sprint."  (Their periods on US,
not mine.)  The ads claim that "one percent of your phone charges will
go to groups that protect and restore the environment, at no cost to
you."

Somehow I suspect that the "no cost to you" part doesn't actually mean
that the rates charged through Working Assets aren't any higher than
those charged by Sprint itself.

Anyone know about Working Assets Long Distance?  Their number is
800-877-2100, but I haven't called because I'm not really interested
in changing my service at this point.
