Have you looked under the guidebook options for California and then looked at each section and just how many pages each section comprises? If you start adding up individual pages for sections and sub sections and then assume that there are god knows how many more (because many sections appear to be unavailable), you will be astounded by the size of this document. It only takes a few seconds to realize that you are dealing with a huge and very complex piece of corporate BS.

Online version is 16 pages. Correct link is http://cpr.bellsouth.com/guidebook/.

Not sure where this fictional number of 2.500 pages came from but news sites everywhere seem to have adopted it as fact and using it for shock value.

For the record though, I don’t wish to imply that I support AT&T in creating this length of a document, I just get frustrated with blatently incorrect facts in online articles.

The form they sent you to sign is 8,000 words. It references the 2,500 page agreement online (which wasn’t accessible when it first went out).

There’s no good faith, no one can be expected to read anywhere near that many pages. AT&T just looking for more lawsuits and criminal charges against it.

“8,000 words over 2,500 pages? So 3.2 words per page. What font size is this book?”

You beat me to that question!!
