Belgium:
As from 01/01/94 ISDN is available in belgium on demand. All major
switching nodes of the national telecom company BELGACOM are digital
and a very fast increasing number of sub-nodes are converted to digital
connections. BRA (Basic Rate Access) can be connected in less than a
week in over 75% of the country. PRA may take longer depending on
geographical location. Caller ID is available on ISDN in Belgium
(using EURO-ISDN = ISDN fase 2 in Belgium) but only between ISDN
devices although it may be hidden by the caller.

United States:
I suggest that you call the local telephone service center office
and ask for the name and number of the Marketing Product Manager
for ISDN services. If the service rep cannot make heads or tails
of your question, ask to speak to the local service center manager
for complex business services. This person should be able to
direct you to the right place. For the Bell companies, this
position is normally part of the telephone company's core marketing
staff at their headquarters location.
