I am 52 and have NEVER needed to send a telegram. Long distance phone calls were reasonably affordable even before I was born.
I am amazed they were still doing it.

I never understood why we had telegrams anyway - it seems like it would have been easier to just send an email. (ducking)

You could still get a singing telegram. A good program as that puts liberals with college degrees to work. Same with pizza delivery.

Didn't the telegram have a place in the UCC and some of the consumer protection laws? I wonder if there will be some unintended consequences from this change.

Further evidence that Bush is destorying this country's Telegram base! How are we supposed to compete on a global scale when we can't even make our own Telegrams anymore?
