1970s Detroit?

Um, why do we have information about phone service in Detroit, Michigan in the 1970s? It really isn't applicable to modern charges (and the introductory text acknowledges this). I'm hesitant to delete a large paragraph of data (especially when I'm not in the mood to write a replacement detailing the typical modern charge system), but it really needs to go, in my opinion.

Notes to self (and others) about modern phone charges, according to information provided to me recently by an AT&T CSR: local calls are divided up (by SBC/AT&T, anyway) into two types: within 12 miles and outside of 12 miles (presumably a radius from the subscriber's location, or perhaps from the CO). In most phone plans, calls within 12 miles are free for an unlimited number of minutes. Calls more than 12 miles away are toll calls (but I'm not sure if this qualifies as "local long distance"--see the long distance article. Some metered-rate plans for extremely infrequent users are available, although the cost of a basic unmetered plan is not much more. This information probably needs to be corroborated and expanded before including in this or other articles. cluth 06:34, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
