But you see new ideas spring up in the form of small private regional companies all the time.

And, the study found, the smaller the city, the better the regional companies do.

It's not a question of where it is - regional companies or the Met.

The regional companies provide much of the nation's local telephone service.

But all seven regional telephone companies are expected to offer the services by 1992.

What changes there are will help the regional Bell companies.

On the other hand, such advances can help regional companies, too.

Small regional companies were suddenly given access to much larger markets.

Seven big regional companies were created to handle all local calling.

I have a lot of discussions about this, especially with regional companies.
