I think what the phone company *meant* was that ISDN service is available
only under a business tariff. In the Pacific Bell area, this means that (local) ISDN
calls will cost 4cents/min for the first minute, then 1 cent/minute afterwards.
Compare this to the residential tariff, where local calls are free. The
California Public Utilities commission is rumoured to be about to approve
a residential (i.e. unmetered) ISDN tariff.
