A crawler message went across the screen on KHOU's live internet coverage a
minute ago requesting ATT wireless customers to text message each other,
instead of calling on voice.

I'm suspicious.  We're approaching free nights and weekends hours where ATT
doesn't get to deduct minutes from user accounts and text messaging costs
like hell on any system boosting revenues.

I didn't see any announcement that text messaging would be FREE for all
users until further notice in Houston or East Texas, which would be very
good for customer relations and encourage people to reduce loading on the
voice network.....Pfat chance.
