[comp.dcom.telecom] special relativity and US Sprint billing

eli@spdcc.COM (Steve Elias) (08/06/88)

as far as i know, US Sprint has managed to eliminate most relatavistic
effects from their billing system and is billing people without applying
Lorentz transforms to their bills, as they have in the past.

i haven't heard any really drastic horror stories lately, and my own
bills even include calls i made as little as 3 weeks before the bill
arrives...  last year, i got a bill for 10333 casual use calls that
i had made 18 months earlier, but that may have been due to some
relativistic effects at my local telcos billing system..

Sprints line quality continues to be the best in the business, at
least from the Boston area.  i often try other carriers, including
ATT, and none can match the line quality Sprint provides...
