I discovered yesterday that AT&T is the long distance carrier for
Cantel (the biggest cellular telephone carrier in Canada), at least for
calls placed from Alberta and British Columbia. (Strange, eh?)

I will be calling Cantel tomorrow to let them know that they will
get no LD business from me if EhTeeNTea is deriving any revenue
from those calls. If anyone else feels the same way and contacts
Cantel about this, please send me e-mail detailing who you talked
to, when, and what you said to them. I want to track this for a few
weeks, then do a followup on hardcopy to make sure they get the message.
