- Caller ID is officially available in Colorado today. My wife
- finally got through to the business office this evening to order it
- for us, after busy signals on attempts during the day. While we are
- normally served by the Loveland business office, our call ended up
- being answered by the Colorado Springs business office (different area
- code and LATA). The rep said that calls had been non-stop all day,
- with virtually every other call involving an order for the Caller ID
- service.
-
- The best gauge of consumer opinion is how they vote with their
- dollars, not with their words. If Colorado's first-day results can be
- generalized to other areas, then John Higdon is quite correct that the
- PUC decision in California gives the voices of a few more weight than
- the desires of the majority.

- [Moderator's Note: When Caller-ID officially started here in Chicago a
- couple years ago, telco had a huge number of orders the first few
- days. It is still one of the more popular services offered by IBT. PAT]
