Dial a joke cost mystifies GSA in New York
New York City federal workers were hooked on Dial-a-Joke and 25 other Dial-It lines with canned horoscopes and sports results. GSA says costs reach 3000 dollars monthly and sought screening devices from New York Telephone Co. at over 100000 dollars, halting Dial-It on the city’s largest exchange. A temporary automated route system now blocks calls at about 200 dollars a month plus 10 cents per line, and may save the agency as much as 5000 dollars monthly.
