Thread Name: Telephone/telecommunications songs
Subject: RE: Telephone/telecommunications songs
One that I personally don't like: Here's a Quarter (call someone who cares).

Moving away from folk (as if that was folk), Jack Green recorded one: "I call; no answer; what's a matter with your telephone line?"

Didn't ABBA do one "Ring, ring, ring"

Where exactly are you talking about? A handy bit of research may be to follow-up on the Annual Reports/speeches of the CEO of Bell (good ol' what's-his-name). It's posted on the net; you can do a search for it. He talks about long-term cuts to staff (some 40% , I think it was), user-pay means of nickle and diming customers, other profit increasing strategies. If you want more info, send me an e-mail, I'll dig up the report at home and try to help out. Sheye@hotmail.com

Good luck!
