An AT&T/Bell System ad in the March 1972 National Geographic:
> "When you want to be in France for business or pleasure but can't get
> away...telephone. It's easy to get there in no time. The cost is low.
> As little as $6.75 plus tax for a three minute station to station
> call. Calling France is the next best thing to being there -- as well as
> a very cheap way to get there."
And now I pay 4 cents a minute from the U.S. to most G8 nations, including France. How things have changed.
