Dear Sir:

With regard to by BC Telephone to supply land lines to isolated communities.

If these folks choose to live in "Splendid Isolation", and choose to

call me,  they can do so on their sattelite telephone. I am not

interested in supplying them with a land line, which, if they wanted

one, they would live in not-quite-so-splendid isolation.

Garry Walton.
