I just wondered.. is Alaska the only state where D.A. won't provide
subscriber addresses (for ANYONE, not just customers who requested
that their addresses not be given out..)?  The business office will
give it out (if you whine at them after they say "sorry, sir, it's
the RULE" 6 or 7 times), but it seems strange that 5551212 won't.
Are Alaskans just very secretive?

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure Detroit still has flat rate service
divided by nominal municipalities.  In Ann Arbor, I can almost
reach Detroit (about 25 miles away) for free, but not quite.
Every time Michigan Bell starts making measured service noises,
there are some pretty loud rumblings, it seems.
