Best Buy markets GTC Telecom's long-distance plan Published Oct 17 2001 Best Buy Co. Inc., the largest U.S. electronics retailer, said it began marketing GTC Telecom Corporation's 5-cent-a-minute long-distance rate plan last week in stores nationwide. Financial terms weren't disclosed. Shoppers at Best Buy's more than 400 retail stores can check to see if the plan, which allows subscribers to make state-to-state calls for 5 cents a minute throughout the day, is offered in their area. Best Buy also advertises GTC's rate plan on its Web site, spokeswoman Donna Beadle said. Shares of Eden Prairie-based Best Buy fell 27 cents to $52.93. They have risen 79 percent this year. Shares of Costa Mesa, Calif.-based GTCC rose 1 cent to 30 cents. -- Bloomberg News © Copyright 2001 Star Tribune. All rights reserved.
