Juanita wants to sign up for a telephone service. The cost of a local phone line is $35 per month plus $0.10 per long-distance call. The cost of a cell phone is $48 per month with unlimited long-distance as long as the minutes do not go over 1,000. How many long distance calls would Juanita need to make on the local phone line to spend as much as she would to have a cell phone?
$48-$35=$13.00
$13.00 / $0.10 = 130 minutes of long distance service to equal the cell phone cost.
I want to know what telephone service provider is being used for a specific phone number? Is there any way of looking up this sort of information??
none of those searches are accurate!
they will tell you who owns that block of numbers, and that will only let you know what phone provider initiated the phone service, if the service was switched from the original carrier, it will not provide that information…
A. Toothpaste
B. Crude oil
C. Agriculture
D. Local telephone service
Is it D?
Crude oil
guyz….i need some help with this question…any help will be greatly appreciated..
1) Classify the following markets as perfectly competitive, monopolistic, or monopolistically competitive, and explain your answers.
a. wooden #2 pencils
b. bottled water
c. copper
d. local telephone service
e. peanut butter
f. lipstick
(a) and (c) are perfectly competitive: many small producers of a homogeneous good
(b), (e), and (f) are monopolistically competitive: many producers who can differentiate their products from the other firms in the market.
(d) This used to be a monopoly, but now it’s probably more monopilistically competitive, since people can get phone service from cable tv providers, Voynage, as well as their local phone company.
I have dial up through my local hometown telephone company for $5 a month and i only can download at 2-3kbps which i have to take my laptop to a local coffee shop to download simple files only 14mb or more without having to wait hours for it to be done… I looked into cable but its unavaible where i am no cables under ground where i am! would another dial up provider be a little faster at least? netzero and all those others for example.
why dont you just get high speed internet
My report is on the Telecommunications Act of 1996, specifically its policy of allowing the seven Bell companies (local service) to offer long distance telephone service.
The report includes historical issues that led to the policy, and explanation of the policy itself, and observable results. I can’t think of anything that I would assume before writing this paper, and I’m not sure I even understand the concept of "assumptions".
Also, what might be some things that may have hindered me from learning more? And what are the linkages between the ideological, sociological, and technological events leading up to the policy? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

My computer has always ran fast. It is now running extremely slow. Any suggestions on what I can do to speed it back up? I have a cable connection from our local cable/telephone service.

Here are a few simple tips for maintaining the performance of your PC.
Run the Regristryclean up scan
See http://toptenantispyware.com/Tune_Up_Center.htm automatically checks your hard disk for any unnecessary files and gives you the option to delete them. You can run the clean up scan if you’re only interested in performing a disk cleanup—or you can run the comprehensive full service scan to check for other PC issues as well.
Remove unused programs
Just because you aren’t using a program doesn’t mean it isn’t consuming resources and affecting your PC’s performance. Removing unused programs from your hard disk is an easy way to maintain your system and maximize your available hard disk space.
To remove programs you don’t need anymore:
1. Click Start, then click Control Panel.
2. In Category View, click Add or Remove Programs, then click Remove a program.
3. Scroll through the list and examine each program. Windows XP lists how often you use a program and what day you last started it.
Note: Don’t remove anything labeled "Update" or "Hotfix." These things improve the security of your computer.
4. Click a program you no longer need, click Change/Remove, and then follow the prompts to uninstall it. (In some cases, a program may be removed without prompting you further.)
You may have to restart your computer after removing a program. After your computer restarts, repeat this procedure to remove more programs.
Note: You must be in order to complete these steps.
Remove optional Windows components
You can remove optional Windows components from your PC to free up space. Many components come standard with Windows, but you may not use them frequently. You can reinstall these components from your Windows CD if you need them later.
To add or remove a Windows component:
1. Click Start, then click Control Panel.
2. In Category View, click Add or Remove Programs, then click Add a program.
3. On the left side of the menu, click Add/Remove Windows Components.
4. Follow the instructions in the Windows Components Wizard.
Note: You must be in order to complete these steps.
Modify System Restore data
Windows XP provides the option to restore your PC to a previous state by automatically saving restore information. System Restore continuously monitors your PC for changes, such as file changes, application changes, or installations. System Restore takes a "snapshot" of your PC at a given point in time and then stores each of these snapshots so that you can roll back any changes to a period before you experienced problems.
As you can imagine, these snapshots of your whole system take up memory space. You can delete older snapshots that you’re sure you won’t need in order to clean up your hard disk.
To delete System Restore snapshots except for the most recent one:
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
2. Wait while Disk Cleanup calculates free disk space.
3. Click the More Options tab, and then, in the System Restore area, click Clean up….
Scan and Clean Up your Registry
Lots of things get saved on your PC that you don’t need. Some are benign. Some slow you down. And some let prying eyes track what you do on your PC.
install Registry cleaner and run daily
Use the tool: http://toptenantispyware.com/Clean_Up_Center.htm [if you do not have one]
Scan/Remove spyware
Your computer may be infected with Spyware, Adware, worms or Hidden Trojans!
install Antispyware and run daily

In the Wire Less Age..Year 2007! Telephone Cooperatives do not provide high-quality service at affordable rates.
The cooperatives monopoly is inefficient and prevents their members from obtaining competitive high quality service at competitive rates.
PRIME EXAMPLE OF POOR QUALITY SERVICE: I live in Jackson County Alabama in an area served by a local Telephone Co-op. The Telephone Co-op offers cellular service to its members at COMPETITIVE RATES (take competitive rates with a grain of salt and laugh). If you live in their service area and subscribe to their wireless service forget about FREE CELLULAR TO CELLULAR, OR FREE NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS except in their very, very LIMITED LOCAL service area. In addition, they do not have an accurate, simple means for the user to keep a check on the minutes he has used between billing cycles. The Customer has to wait on the hard copy of the bill.
The cellular service would have been great for Mom & Dad 40 years ago since they rarely traveled
It’s all about the money. If people are stupid enough to keep paying for it and the company can continue to make a profit selling the service, why shouldn’t they continue?
I am looking for a website(s) that lists local ISP’s by state. By local I don’t mean anything like AOL, MSN, Eartlink, etc. Something regional only. For example, my ISP is through our local telephone service (again, nothing like AT&T).
Thanks ahead.
The best source for local "Internet Service Providers" is the Yellow Pages.
