900 Numbers
The March 14 article on the California Public Utilities Commission ruling on statewide 900 numbers makes it sound as if it was the first time Californians would benefit from consumer safeguards for 900 services. In fact, comprehensive consumer safeguards have been available as part of Pacific Bell’s California 900 service since it was introduced in July, 1989.
It should be noted that these safeguards do not apply to nationwide 900 numbers that are available to California callers.
