"The Bargaining Power Of Your Business Phone Line"
Although it has taken a few years for the effects to be realized, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 has created the opportunity for companies
to come from a position of strength when choosing a telecommunications service for their business phone line. While home telecommunications
services are the "gravy" of the telecommunications industry, it is the business phone lines that are the "meat and potatoes".
Those in the telecommunications industry all strive for the dollars of the business community's telecommunications services, but they may not
always come out and give you the best deal without you asking the right questions. So ask away!
- Do you have any specials or incentives plans available for businesses?
- Can you provide a guaranteed rate without increase and without a term contract?
- What is the smallest billing increment available for long distance calling?
Remember - they want to provide YOUR telecommunications service. Your business phone line is bargaining power available for you - use it
wisely.
