[ale] ISDN and BellSouth

[Michael J. Callahan]

Really, available shortly? I had not seen any dates on availability, or
rates either. Will they be available in all service areas, or maybe only
selected areas, like the areas where they are laying new fiber optic
cables? My neighborhood will not be serviced by the new cable until late
1997 (outside stone mtn area). Heard any dollar rate figures?

I read that some of the home satelite TV companies are going to go for
providing this service also.
