US SPRINT: PIN DROP
{US SPRINT}

Summary

This commercial presents US Sprint as a long-distance telephone company that has made telephone connections noise-free by using fiber optics. In a reenactment of a test, two US Sprint engineers, one in Chicago and the other in Dallas, speak to each other long-distance. One drops a pin, and the other hears it clearly, proving that US Sprint's newly installed fiber-optic network is virtually noise-free. The announcer says, "Save with US Sprint, where every fiber-optic call sounds like you're right next door."
