Sprint Unveils All-In-One Phone Line Service
Sprint Corp. plans a single line offering voice calls, faxes, and Internet access, aiming to cut overall costs by over 70 percent for voice and reduce video call costs. Chairman Esrey says monthly bills stay similar while service quality improves with speeds up to 100 times modem rates. The system stems from five years of work and multiple technologies, with initial rollout to large businesses later this year and expansion to all businesses by mid-1998.
