I always thought Ameritech reserved the right to change its charges any
time it wanted. Does our Centrex contract have a fixed price in it?

Yes. We had to decide how long we wanted to commit to those prices.

Ack. I called Shirley on Monday, but she was out. Since then I've been sick
and haven't tried calling her back. I will try to do it RSN. STeve, did you
find out anything else from MPSC?

Those of us safely out of the loop *really* appreciate the time, effort, and
procrastination you are putting into these problems. :-)

Glad to see Working Assets is in the running!

Thanks, Valerie. To clarify: the fee Ameritech charges for having no LD
carrier applies only to our ISDN lines, not to our regular lines. At $.95
per line, I *think* that's 4 * $.95 = $3.80/month. So Sprint, MCI, and
AT&T are not cheaper than having no long distance carrier at all. (Unless
you're figuring in something I'm not.)
I need to call Shirley and confirm that, though - but I was too sick all
week. I'm mostly better now, so I'll try to do it on Monday. <sigh>

Working Assets is not "partisan" because it is not a candidate for
partisan public office and it is not a political party. This is
just the kind of tail-chasing question that 501 (c)(3) status
raises and why Grex should avoid it.

Valerie, it seems to me that the by-laws don't say we have to pay more for
a service in order 8not* to support partisan companies. Heck, that would mean
we couldn't serve Dominos pizza at board meetings because a part of that money
would end up supporting the Word of God religious organization. (Not
something I'd want to do ... but not, I think, forbidden by the by-laws.)
Now sending some money directly to Planned Parenthood or the Word of God
community *would* be a proiblem.

We would be paying Working Assets for service, and they would be spending
money on political causes. Ameritech does a lot of lobbying too, so if we
can't get service from Working Assets we can't get it from Ameritech either.
If Working Assets' marketing people are willing to give us $10 for switching
to them, we should take it. They knew when they made the offer that some
people wouldn't make many, if any, long distance calls.

Thanks for calling Shirley, Valerie. I hadn't realized that the
$.30 per line per month increase was due to lack of a long distance carrier;
that means we can kill two birds with one stone by designating a carrier.

Just make sure that the fine print doesn't say, "Rates subject to change w/o
notice," or some such! :-)
