I have found some information that might be helpful as we address these
issues.  The Economics and Statistics Administration of the Bureau of the
Census has a publications "Annual Survey of Communication Services: 1991"
put out July 1993.  The 50 page report has very specific numbers on the
industry.  Copies are free.  Call 301-763-5528.

A few numbers of interest:

Telephone:                      159   billion
