[comp.dcom.telecom] Why Not Make 800 Numbers Available Outside US?

Peter da Silva <peter@ficc.uu.net> (12/23/89)

Why can't AT&T or Bellcore or whoever allow access to 800 numbers from
outside the US as regular long-distance numbers, with regular
long-distance charges to the caller?

It just seems like such an obvious thing.
