If your line is cellular, give a ring

Article Abstract:

Although the telecommunications industry as a whole is downsizing, companies are actively recruiting recent graduates to work as network planners, technical operations personnel, engineers and sales and marketing representatives. The mobile cellular telecommunications market has shown marked growth and is expected to continue growing at a rapid pace, and so is a good area for entry-level workers with an understanding of the telecommunications market and good communications skills. People with experience in paging, trunking and cellular systems are especially sought to work as engineers and service managers, installing and repairing cellular equipment. Large metropolitan areas where the demand for cellular service is high are the best areas to find such employment.

AT&T files lawsuit against MCI

Article Abstract:

AT and T files a lawsuit charging MCI Communications Corp with unfair and deceptive telemarketing practices. AT and T claims MCI and its marketing firm, Pioneer, misrepresent facts so AT and T customers will switch their long distance service, switches service without the customer's consent and unfairly takes advantage of the elderly and non-English speakers. MCI says some 100,000 customers a week are switching to MCI and that AT and T is merely whining about the competition. AT and T currently holds a 75 percent share of the residential market. AT and T says it discovered the alleged wrong doing by calling customers to find out why they were switching long distance services.
