In response to Cliff Farides request for rural library telecom
expenses, I am sharing the cost for Cameron County Public Library.  We
serve a small rural county of approximately 5,800 people.  Our telephone
bills for 1997 have averaged $81.00 per month.  Our Internet provider's
fee is $60.00 per
quarter.                                                		                                                          
I agree with Barbara Doll's comment that it is hard to envision the
benefits of the discount at this point.  My doubt of the benefits is
doubled by the complicated process we must go through just for a
"chance"  to get a
discount.
