-Caveat Lector- FYI -- Do you enjoy the convenience of dialing up 1-800 info? One may not always be by a computer. Or, not even have one hooked up to the Net. Let the FCC [http://www.fcc.gov/] know you oppose this move by AT&T [http://www.att.com/]. And, feel free to forward this to your friends and family. -A > On November 12, 1999, AT&T announced plans to eliminate its toll-free > 800-number directory assistance, effective March 31, 2000. This is the only > service that allows customers to obtain 800 numbers, free of charge. AT&T's > plan to shift to an Internet directory will deny many consumers access and > harm businesses that depend on their toll-free connection to their > customers. Only one-quarter of all Americans are connected to the Internet; > the rate drops to around 10 percent for low-income, African-American, > Hispanic, and older Americans. The FCC is taking comments on this change > through Dec. 8.
