Paul:  For what it's worth, I remember seeing something in the Roanoke
Times a few days ago, where Bell Atlantic was announcing the new/proposed
(I'm not clear which) tariffs for long-distance 3rd-party, calling card,
and so on, services, where the old tariff listed 1-25, 25-100, etc up
to 450+ miles, and the new tariff was the same all the way down.

I don't know if that was an announcement or proposal, and I don't think
it applied to basic station-to-station LD rates.  However, it's a start. ;)
