HIGHER ED'S THE WINNER IN TELECOM BATTLES AT&T, MCI and Sprint may still be duking it out in long-distance commercials, but colleges and universities are the beneficiaries as companies vie to give them the best deal. "It's like David and Goliath, but now there are three Goliaths and they're knocking themselves out to play with David," says a former college president. Universities now can demand not only good service and low rates, but flexibility to adapt to changing technology and even commissions on calls made by students, professors and administrators. The University of South Florida earns up to $5,000 a month in commissions from AT&T. (Chronicle of Higher Education 1/20/95 A41)
