The one that makes me maddest is the way they go about using (900) service on "Late Night With David Letterman." They use AT&T's mass announcement (900) service with a feature that allows a small number of calls to be answered live. But since everyone is calling to get on the air, not to hear the "You didn't get through" recording, this feature shouldn't be used. The result is that people are charged 50 cents for each ATTEMPT. They should instead use a regular number or an (800) number, so that viewers do not have to pay for busies. -- Jim G.
