GSA Converts FTS to Seven-Digit Dialing Nationwide
The General Services Administration completed a shift from ten to seven digit dialing for the Federal Telecommunications System affecting over a million phones. Commissioner Theodore D. Puckerius said the modernization will improve service and save about half a million dollars annually. FTS began in 1963 to offer low-cost official long distance for federal agencies and now handles roughly 150 million calls yearly with a 135 million dollar cost avoidance in fiscal 1975.
