    Dear TAP,
    Been reading Monopoty, & itts change~ rny whole outlook c~n the phone company.
    Before, Ihad phreaked 907 for k~cks, and 10' for saving on long distance calls.
    Example of how Pa Bell screws the publicNY Tel has been running a big ~V k
    newspaper ad campaign telling people to send for a free booklet on h~v to ssv~ on
    your phone bEls. Even inclnded a bU1ing mserton where to send ~. Butyou could-
    n'tgetitby ca~ing ~e ~ O,they had none. You had to write for iL Q -Why could-
    n'thPY Tel have s=~ply sent ~e bookletout wiEh the bOls instead ofonly where to
    send for it7 Or s~nply publ~sh itin the direciory, or even letyou ~1 the EL O.?
    A,- E~cause Pa E~H wants pe~ple to Uhlnk ~atit wan~ them to save on thetr phone
    bills, but it really doesn't and knows that or~y a small frac~on of a31 the people
    will care & bother to send for it.
