Mark, I wouldn't expect you to know this, as you don't live in the proper part of the state to know the telco history here. :) But Western Reverse (er, Western Reserve) Telephone and Alltel are listed separately, and Alltel bought out Western Reserve years ago. Alltel has local headquarters out in Hudson, the former home of WRT. I suspect that a lot of states are like this, with the records reflecting more ILECs than actually still exist. Alltel has always done business as Alltel west of Cleveland (for example, in Elyria in Lorain County) but they may still be operating Western Reserve as a separate business unit covering the rural areas south and east of the city.. No big surprises here, really. Ameritech is the ILEC in the big cities, and much of the rest of the state is divvied up between Verizon and Sprint... If I actually had time to research it, I'd love to find out how many of the carriers listed on this PDF are still in business... -- Steve Sobol, Proud Native of the Great Frozen City of Cleveland, Ohio http://www.Cleveland.OH.US/ http://www.TravelCleveland.com/ http://www.LakeCountyOhio.org/ (Where the Snow is Cold but our Hearts Aren't!)
