Re: Anguilla is not Marxist!

Just an interesting point here about the absence of * and # keys on Anguilla's phones... The US is not immune from similar anti- competitive tactics at pay phones. A number of new pay phones now have only numbers on their keypads (no letters). The reasoning behind this is that people will not be able to place their long distance charges though other companies (e.g. 1-800 CALL ATT etc.). Alan networks(a)vir.com
