> These are critical times for the digital telecommunications industry.
> We (barely) escaped some terrible provisions of Texas legislation in
> the House-passed version of HB2128. Had these not been noticed and
> opposed, digital telecommunications would now be severely restricted.
>
> But all 2128 gives is a general outline; the rules we'll really have
> to live with remain to be decided, largely in upcoming PUC hearings.
> These issues are too important to ignore - to have the healthiest
> possible industry, better communication and cooperation are needed.
>
> THAT'S WHY - you are cordially invited to become a subscriber to Texas
> Telecommunications Journal. Your subscription can make a difference
> in helping build our community as an informed, effective force in the
> times ahead. (Plus giving you the bottom line advantage of knowing
> more about telecom changes and directions to expect and plan for.)
>
> WHAT YOU GET - The journal proudly offers very little for your money.
> <grin> If you are like most of us, there is already more information
> available than we have time to read. So TTJ distills relevant stories
> into a simple, easy-to-read digest format, published only when events
> warrant. The goal: essential information without unnecessary chatter.
>
> These brief and succinct summaries let you quickly review for news and
> insights into current telecom issues - more information is available
> on any topic that particularly interests you. And we will do our best
> to get answers to any questions submitted by subscribers.
>
> TTJ is currently distributed online via email; fax or postal versions
> could be arranged for new subscribers. A website is being developed
> for archived and hypertext access of future editions.
>
> WHAT IT COSTS - For charter subscriptions we are requesting $200.
> This includes every journal release until February 1997 and all other
> services. The subscriptions collected will enable coverage of telecom
> issues at the PUC and elsewhere. Fees will also be used as seed money
> to create the Texas Telecommunications Association - an IRS 501(c)6
> non-profit professional association devoted to industry development.
> [Your subscription is also credit for membership in this new group.]
