When SBC can offer long-distance, choices will increase, prices will be more competitive and SBC customers will eiyoy the convenience of having all telecom services on a single bin.

Although competition in telecommunications is thriving, recent financial failings of companies like MCI/WorldCom highlight the importance of continuing to promote a competitive - and stable - phone market. As recently as 2000, MCI/WorldCom, AT&T and Sprint account for nearly 76.6% of residential long distance minutes, in Indiana. With the importance of technology in today's economy, consumers need more choices and better choices.

For moro information

SBC Ameritech is now in the process of obtaining regulatory approval to offer long-distance in Indiana. .When SBC can offer long-distance, choices will increase, prices will be more competitive and SBC customers will enjoy the convenience of having all telecom services on a single bill. And unlike the companies that have been recently called to task for unethical business practices, and gone into bankruptcy, SBC Ameritech is a solid company with more than 100 years of service to the residents of Indiana and deep roots in our community. We invest in our networks, and we are invested in the future of Indiana.
