    G~ncing through the back issues of the NY TI~S
    from January 1971 to the present has unearthed
    enough worms in MA Bell's earth to plant a ~illion
    seeds of rebellion. Among the strong points in f~vor
    of our arquments that Ma Bell has been a maJor force
    in mo~nng this country towards ir~ation is the f~ct
    tbat AT&T deceided to raise the rates for TV program
    transmission. The rate increase affected all the ~V
    networks. The rise in rates was passed on ~y the
    network corporations to the stationrs commerical
    sponsors. In many ~es the sponsors passed the rate
    increase on to the cons~mers. Not only did corr~erical
    time cost more, but there was also a noticable increase
    ln the amount of co~nrnericals on the network programs.
    E7C commissioner Jones replied, "IV commericals
    tend to soggest tbst use of the advertised prodoct will
    solve listeners problems and fi~fill their ~bitions. I
    see no need to requlate. ''. . . Question of the month, ~s
    AT&T collected that 1.15 mill~on dollar phone bill owed
    by the Dewocratic party since the 1968 convention?...
    The following are phone facts as reported to the NY TIMES
    ... Directory assistance service in 1970 reached 497
    million, estimates for 1980 are placed at 840 million...
    Did you know tbat Ma Bell wil1 soon be ch~rg~ng by the
    message unit all calls placed to inforrnation ? AT&T
    now ssys the reason for charging for info calls is to
    drop the work force by 8~ (about 8000 people) to meet
    the rising costs (sic 1~. . . J. Billingsley, a E?ell rep,
    says the phone company is not hiring to reduce the
    work force. . . AT&T spent 7. 6 Bil~ion doll~rs on new
    facilities in 1972. . . Last year the NYC PSC ord ered NY
    TEL to pay 1. 50 monthly rebate to worst ser~nce. The
    company estimated total rebate pald at 15 million ann~lly. . .

    Phone phreaJdng, perhaps more tban any other pasffme,
    req~iires a great deal of savoir f~ire. If you want to be
    free to phreak, you have to know how to watch your step.
    There is a defirnte art to spea~ng on the telephone. For
    e~mple: it simply isn't cool to call up a friend and speak
    openly about illegal activit~es. The chances of a phreak's
    call beir.g tappad are s$gnificant, and your friend won't
    appreelate it either. Wait for operators to click off before
    beeping. Other co~nmon sense rules include not
    siving out the names and numbers of other phreal~s
    or those ~ces where phone phreaRs bang out or
    buy their equipment. Listen always for the operator
    to click oiY, and even then never ass~me the line is
    completely cool. Also remember short frequent calIs
    are more effective than long calls. The fewer times
    you continue to use the s~me phone location the cooler it
    is also.
    
    Many of the phone phreaRs whom we lmow have been
    busted have known common sense rules in general, but
    trusted too many people into their conf~dence. As ~ rule
    never let too many people know you are a phone phre;tk;
    informing by others is the most common bust Sonnetimes
    these informants ~rn out to be "friends''. If you suspect
    someone is going to bust you stop phreaking for a while.
    This goes for any suspicions ya: might have. Tf you feel
    heat merely stop phreakir~g or find a totally new location.
    me excuse ~t mey ao not have suffic~ent money and m~npower If you are approached by Ma Bell just say, "I want to
    to investigate. ~ It's rapidly becoming a trite cliche). . . Now, atalk to my lawyer first. " That~s ~ I You do not h~ve to
    few months later we pick up the NY TIMES and read a article sav anvthina without a-laWYer. Find a ~wver vou can relate
    dated July 22, which states tbet the Pentagon's telephone bill
    went up by 4. 7 million dollars a year. The Chesapeake and
    Potomac Telephone Kompany won the increase Nov. 17 from
    the Virg~nia CC, but federal officals obtained a restrsining
    order preventing it from taking effect. Ihe federals arqued
    th~t ~ ~te mcrease wolated the supre~cy c~=e
    of the United States Constitution. lIowever, the
    pane} r~led tbat tbe supremacy clause was not viol;~ted
    because there was no evidence tbat the state of
    Viry~inia was attempting to restrict the operations of
    the Feder~ gov~t. The Pentagon, which is situated in
    Virginia across the Potomac River from Washington
    now must pay a long dis~nce rate for all ~q11~ going
    ~nto the capital.

    Remember above a]1 that us~ng your home phone for
    blue bozes ~s the easiest way to have Ma Bell come knocking
    at your door. Play it cool, and don't cey.
