- I called my local AT&T sales droid and told them that I was upset
- over this USL (AT&T) vs BSDI lawsuit and that I would disconnect
- my long distance service with AT&T if AT&T didn't drop that suit.
-
- I expected, of course, sort of a yawn from the sales droid. Instead
- the sales droid was very interested and wanted to write down the
- details of my complaint, and said that she was going to forward them
- to some big-wig somewhere.
-
- However, I agree with James' assessment. A letter is in the works.
