- I was watching "Mission: Impossible" today and one of the scenes
- showed a (phony) telephone lineman waltzing into the Russian embassy
- in Washington, snooping around, etc, etc.
-
- Even back in the pre-divestiture days, I can hardly believe that this
- sort of thing was a possible scenario. Nowadays, of course, since
- there are demarcs to limit how far the telco can go, but what did an
- embassy of a foriegn nation do for local telecom without letting
- Bellco in? Did they have an arrangement with the State Department? Did
- they even use Bell? Have the arrangements changed since divestiture?
-
- Thanks in advance for any information.
