Pay phone monopoly comes to an end
Article Abstract:
Canada's pay telephone market is now open to competition. Soon pay phones will be offering Internet access and other high-tech services. The opening of the market will allow companies, such as Canada Payphone Corp. to compete with telephone companies in stores and on street corners. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission hopes that consumers will benefit from having more options in pay phone providers. It also hopes that the opening of the market will lead to the launch of new pay phone services.
