AT&T's technology is in the Business & Related Services category among a collection of over 470 of the year's most innovative applications of technology from 42 states and 22 countries. Jerry Yang, co-founder and chief Yahoo of Yahoo! Inc., a global Internet media company, nominated AT&T for inclusion in the Museum's Information Technology collection because of its potential to change the way people communicate. ''The Laureates in this year's Collection are utilizing new information age tools to extend the benefits of technology to society,'' said Dan Morrow, Executive Director of the Computerworld Smithsonian Awards Program. AT&T Click2Dial Conferencing service lets surfers use the Web to set up and manage a conference call with up to seven people without operator assistance. To use the service, go to click2dial.att.com, enter your phone number, the phone numbers of the people you want to call, and a credit card number. The AT&T Click2Dial Conferencing acts as a virtual operator and places all the calls for you on the AT&T network. Only the host of the call needs to have Internet access and a separate phone line. The other participants only need a phone. Calls are 10 cents per minute per person and are billed to the host's credit card. ''AT&T's case study of the service will enrich the National Museum of American History's growing collection on the history of information technology, and contribute significantly to the museum's on-going efforts to chronicle the Information Age'' said Spencer R. Crew, Director of the National Museum of American History. The museum is part of the Smithsonian Institution, founded in 1846, which is a complex of 16 museums, 7 research facilities and the National Zoo. Howard McNally, president of AT&T Transaction Services, said, ''This is a great honor to be recognized by all three of these top-notch organizations, Yahoo!, ComputerWorld and the Smithsonian. We are sincerely excited about being included in this collection. YAHOO!''
