Wow!

Between 1990 and 1995 I worked for the business unit in AT&T that was 
responsible for pay phones, calling cards and operator assisted calls. A 
business that was already declining back then, except for pockets such as 
the prison business?inmates were only allowed to make operator assisted 
calls (usually collect), a major ripoff in which the phone company and the 
state prison system shared the loot.

Today, I do not even have a landline phone.

Cheers,
Nathan
