Looking at tomorrow
Rest assured. Just because
Michigan Bell is separating from
AT&T this January doesn't mean
you'll be separated from good phone
service... not for even a second.
You can count on the same highly
skilled people to watch over your
service, as always. And when you
pick up your phone on New Year's
.Day you 11 hear the same reliable
dial tone you've heard for years.
But well be bringing'you a lot
more than a dial tone. For one thing,
we will continue to exercise our
almost unlimited options for select-
ing and implementing the very
latest technology from a wide variety
of communications suppliers.
What that means to you, as we
go down the line, is faster, more
.efficient and more flexible service -
with many interesting choices for
you. One of the innovations we'll
continue to adopt for the future is
electronic switching service. This
will give almost everyone in
Michigan the chance to opt for
Touch-Tone® Service, Custom Calling
Services and other communication
conveniences.
Lightwave cable is a recent
transmission development that can
carry as many as 96,000 simulta-
neous conversations. And soon it
will send your voice and messages
with the speed of light.
Before long, your telephone will
be capable of performing surprising
electronic tricks, such as ringing a
certain way to let vou know exactly
who's calling. You'll have a new way
to shop by phone in stores all over the
country... to handle financial trans-
actions by talking directly to your
bank's computer. To receive elec-
tronic mail. To play bridge. And
even to call your oven and tell it to
start dinner.
These are just a sampling of the
technological advancements vou can
expect to enjoy through Michigan
Bell. The point is very simple: Next
year we'll be bringing you the same
good old dial tone, but we won't be
the same old phone company. We'll
be pulling out all the stops to bring
you the last word in phone service.
After
IT'S AT&T
WE'RE SEPARATING FROM...
NOT YOU.
