Re "NY Tel cutting off payphone service in *some areas.*"
You can bet those areas are black. You can bet that high up in some corporate office tower, the opinion was voiced, "what the hell do those pickaninnies need phones for anyway?!" Call it Information-Age Apartheid if you wish, you won't be off the mark by much.
Yea right! have you ever noticed the about of physical abuse the phone take in "*some areas.*". I so not blame NY tel for cutting off payphone service especialy when they have to repair/replace the phones every other week. (note at we all know these phone are bulletproof, they are not broken/smashed trivaly). the NY tel Co. is loosing money in these "areas". A valid debate would be if the NY tel Co. should maintain these phone at a loss. -Pete -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3 iQBVAgUBLFAbu3ynuL1gkffFAQHoagH9HWQCmXlrMK29b3DW/XL0FSPvlRX5d/bv gcgIk9dSKf971ZPCSvodazIpdkklIuyQvDhnhWfRwc3HyzKCLE/txw== =owju -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
