USAT NEWS All-You-Can-Eat Long Distance:By Jennifer Knapp from Phone plus magazine. "William Ervine, President of San Diego-based USA Talks.com, said it best after his company was nominated in November 1998 as a finalist for the "Most Innovative New Product" Award fromConnect, the University of California, San Diego Program in Technology and Entrepreneurship: "We are confident our long distance service will set the bar for future long distance carrier quality and pricing worldwide. Ervine is referring to the August launch of USA Talks.com's flat-rate long distance service, the first such offering in the United States. The announcement was followed two months later by No. 3 long distance carrier Sprint Corp.'s flat-rate weekends plan and an offer to match by rival AT&T Corp. A new era in long distance pricing has been signaled, and the industry can expect to see the per-minute long distance system further challenged by "me-too" flat-rate offerings. Unlimited Helpings USA Talks.com broke a paradigm with its Internet protocol (IP)-based phone-to-phone flat-rate service, which will be available nationwide in first- quarter 1999." This is a very good news for USAT as the schedule to go nationwide has been moved forward. Good luck to all. Dentique
